SPF 15 can offer some protection while tanning, but it is relatively low and may not adequately shield your skin from UV rays, increasing the risk of sunburn and skin damage. If your goal is to tan, consider using a higher SPF to minimize risks while still allowing for some tanning. Always remember that prolonged sun exposure carries risks, and it's important to practice safe sun habits.

Tanning oil and tanning lotion serve different purposes, and their effectiveness can vary based on individual preferences and skin types.

Ultimately, the choice between them depends on whether you prioritize deeper tanning or skin protection. Always consider your skin type and the potential risks associated with sun exposure.
