People Are Pouring Beer on Themselves to Get a Better Tan

What is beer tanning as popular TikTok life hack warned against? Beer tanning involves participants pouring beer on their skin in order to enhance their summer tan. Several videos on TikTok see holiday-goers dousing themselves in alcohol before laying out in the sun in the hopes of achieving a bronzed look.

WHAT ARE EXPERTS SAYING?

'Beer tan is going on the rise but fortunately Jason Goldberg, director at SpaSeekers.com is here to set the record straight. Jason says: “There is science behind why beer can help us to achieve a perfect tan, with the hops in beer activating melanin – the substance in our bodies which is responsible for making our skin darker. However, if you were to replace using sunscreen for a can of holiday beer, you are leaving yourself vulnerable to the sun’s exposure with no protection.”

Using beer to help yourself tan can increase your risk of sunburn, heatstroke and sun poisoning. So respectfully, stop doing it.'' - via The Tab
