Spray Tanning News: Is it Really Dangerous?Not convinced that spray tanning really causes cancer? Here's the info you need before you decide to get a faux glow this summer |
Bottom line: Are spray tans dangerous? The (very unsatisfying) answer: Maybe. "The real issue here is that not enough studies have been done to firmly say whether spray tans are safe or not," Rigel says. "I don't want people panicking, but we need to look at it more deeply. We can't make a blanket assumption that spray tans are safe."

Thank you for this fascinating piece! I always feared that there had to be harmful chemicals to change the color of skin, especially detrimental when inhaled as a spray. I'll stick to my "whiter shade of pale."

I think tanning in general is just dangerous!

I guess bronzing make-up is here to stay.

When I see articles about xyz causes cancer, my first reaction is, "what doesn't these days?" However, im confused by this article because it kept going back and forth between spray tan in a bottle and spray tan from the store. I use spray tan in a bottle. I can't live without it. I am getting older and my legs need as much color as I can give them to coverup problems. I think I will keep using the product (LancĂ´me, love it!) until more research is done. Seriously, is there anything that doesn't cause cancer? If the spray tan doesn't contain DHA is it okay? I need more info!

I agree with Crystal0107. We need to do our own research, read labels, and become very knowledgeable about how to proceed.

I think the best thing to do is be smart. Do your own research, read labels and do what is best for you.
