Is baby oil bad to apply when tanning?

Question

my mom uses baby oil when she tans, and i told her i thought it was bad for her to use...she uses it anyway. She had ovarian cancer, and I'm really scared if using baby oil will do something?!

Answer 1

YOU SHOULD USE NOTHING BUT SUN BLOCK SPF OF 30 OR HIGHER--BELIEVE ME--OVARIES DON'T MATTER---IT'S THE SKIN YOU ARE DAMAGING BAD

Answer 2

It can be bad for you especially if you do it every single day. I've used oil to tan before and I can only spend about 15-20 minutes outside before I start to turn red. Your mom should be more careful

Answer 3

Hii yes baby oil is very bad to apply when you are tanning. it will create a very bad sunburn.

My friend used baby oil to tan and when we had our dance recital she was all red and her costume irriated her skin very much. It also can cause skin cancer if you tan to much.

hope this helps..*

Answer 4

baby oil is the same as pouring oil in a frying pan - if she wants to tan - there are sun tan lotions /oils that will help with getting a tan plus protect her skin - please suggest strongly  that she use these instaed if she must tan

Answer 5

A  Baby Oil is really Mineral Oil with an added scent, and  is derived from Petroleum. Why take a chance?  Use an oil that has been less processed.

Answer 6

What do you do to a skillet before cooking something?

Use cooking spray.

What is cooking spray?

Oil.

What happens to oil when it gets hot?

It helps to COOK something...

Have you ever sprayed cooking spray or dropped oil on a hot stove?

It sizzles and pops because it's burning...

There is your answer.

Sorry to tell you. Your mother is an idiot.

Answer 7

baby oil isn't bad when taking a tan it just makes it shiner.

Answer 8

Yes it is. That increases her chance of getting burned even more which then increases the chance of skin cancer.  

Answer 9

UH YAH - its like COOKING your skin- buy her some tanning stuff that has some MAJOR spf to protect her from the sun  

Answer 10

yes it is

Answer 11

it won't do anything to her...um ovaries but it will make her fry. baby oil is used to help attract the sun so you get tan easier. you really shouldn't worry about it, but she should probably put a low spf on too just in case.
