Does sunscreen affect how fake tan develops?
Yes, sunscreen can affect how a fake tan develops. When sunscreen is applied, it creates a barrier on the skin that may prevent the tanning agents in self-tanners from fully absorbing, which can lead to uneven or lighter results. Therefore, it's important to consider the timing and application of both products for the best outcome.
