Wearing a chemical- or physical-based sunscreen may help prevent the sun's rays from causing photoaging and skin cancer. It may still be possible to get a slight tan, even if you do wear sunscreen. However, no amount of deliberate tanning is considered safe.

∙ 15y agoYes. The purpose of sunscreen is to lengthen the amount of time you can be in the sun before tanning starts. Also, SPF 15 provides the maximum amount of protection. Any higher SPF number does not provide any additional protection.

∙ 14y agoYes, you can get a tan or even a sunburn while wearing sunscreen.
Sunscreen does not stop all the suns rays, (if it did you'd be invisible) it merely filters out some of the potentially more harmful rays.

∙ 11y agoYes, although not all people tan. Some just burn.

∙ 9y agoYou can still get a tan when wearing sunscreen. Sunscreen protects the skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoYes you can. Depending on the SPF of the lotion, it will probably take longer, and some lotions have an SPF that's so high that you will essentially never tan.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes you can but only if you have a certain type of skin or a type of skin that tans easily.

Can Ginger Hair People Catch A Sun Tan?
Yes, we can. You must, however, do it slowly and using a good quality sunscreen. I start tanning this way, 15 minutes a day, for about a week. Gradually I add more time but always with the sunscreen. You will tan without frying like bacon.
Do you still put sunblock while tanning?
Yes it just depends on the amount of SPF you are using. The way sun screen works is it screens out a certain amount of UVB rays, so as long as it's not a super high amount you can still potentially get tan.
How do you prevent sunspots?
Use sunscreen. SPF 30 (but you will not get tan)
Can you get a tan under glass?
yes you can get a tan through glass but not as quickly as without glass. glass is like sunscreen
What do I need to consider when searching for the best sunscreen?
You will need to find a sunscreen which has effective broad-spectrum protection. A sunscreen that has a SPF 30 blocks 97 percent of the ultra-violet sun rays. You need to remember to apply it several times when you are out in the sun, not just once. You will still tan, but at a slower, safer rate by generously applying the sunscreen so often.
Can you still get a tan if wearing fake tan whilst on sunbeds?
yes but only after the tattoo has stopped scabbing or peeling&& has grown it's first layer of skin back. (usually three to four weeks.) even then, use sunscreen to protect from fading.
Is it ok for boys to tan?
Of course! In fact, you should tan because it is said that having a tan makes you look better. Just make sure to use a light sunscreen to prevent from burning.
how can you avoid tan lines from the sun?
The only advice I found were to stay out of the sun, tan naked, and apply sunscreen. So basically if you go a nude beach you will be fine or you skip the beach or no tan
Do Birthmarks tan?
Yes, birthmarks do tan. If you have a birthmark you must be careful of this. Birthmarks are more likely to contract skin cancer if in the sun excessively without sunscreen.
Do black people need to wear sunscreen?
are you a complete idiot. just because they dont tan doesnt mean they cant be harmed by the uv rays, they still need to protect their skin. retard.
