A member asked:
What oils/lotions can i use to safely tan my face in the sun?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tanning: Aren't you aware that too much sun exposure is the most common cause of skin cancer and premature aging? If tanning is your main purpose, you do not need oils or lotions; just lay in the sun and your face (and rest of body) will be burned and tanned in the process.
