Self tanning lotions are NOT dangerous to your skin. The only potential hazard is believing that the layer of fake tan gives you any protection from sun rays - which it doesn't. So as long as you remember to use sufficient amounts of sun screen, there is no reason to lay off the self tan.

The self tanning lotions only give your skin cells a superficial layer of color, like a long lasting make-up. Despite the rumors, it has nothing to do with the pigmentation of the skin.

Self tanning injections and pills on the other hand are made to boost pigmentation and may cause skin cancer.
