Coconut oil may…: Help moisturize skin while tanning (not a good idea, by the way) but offers no spf protection so skin will receive uv ray damage (which accumulates over the years). Quality tan from a bottle or airbrush is much safer.

Sunscreen: It can but you will increase your risk of burning. Excessive tanning causes skin cancer, wrinkles, and aging of skin. I suggest sunscreen and spray tan. You will look better in the long run!
