SPF 8 tanning oil provides minimal sun protection, blocking about 87.5% of UVB rays, which may not be sufficient for prolonged sun exposure, especially for those with fair skin or a history of skin cancer. While it can offer some protection, it is generally recommended to use a higher SPF for better safety against sunburn and skin damage. Always reapply regularly and consider using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 for optimal protection.

Can self tanning lotion prevent you from tanning?

Nothing will completely block all UV light and stop you from tanning. An SPF will simply delay the amount of time it takes for you to receive MED's (minimal erythemal dosage). So in theory, a SPF 30 vs an SPF 8 will allow you to spend more time in the sun and delay the tanning process(by minimizing the penetration of UV light)

Does a higher SPF sunscreen need to be applied less often than a lower SPF?

The SPF in the sunscreen plays no role in how many hours you can go without reapplication. If you need to quickly reapply your sunscreen after any water or exercise activities I highly recommend looking for a different brand. The Coppertone brand that I use, needs to be reapplied once every 8 hours even after sweating or water play activities.

How long should you start in a tanning bed?

Tanning beds have a "max" time. Work up to the max time minute by minute and do not tan longer than the max time. tanning beds are usually 10,15,or 20 minutes. The less max time the bed has the better and more efficient it is.
