Do self-tanners offer sun protection?
A. Several self-tanners, and even some bronzers, now come with added sunscreen. Some to try are Clarins Self Tanning Milk SPF 6 and Physicians Formula’s Solar Powder SPF 20 Bronzer, both of which contain UVB and UVA filters. However the sunscreens are generally not water- or sweat-resistant, so you may need to apply additional water-resistant sunscreen. For best results, do so after the self-tanner is completely dry.
