Can you fake tan over sunburn?

We’ve all been there before. One minute you’re basking in the sun, enjoying your time outside, and the next thing you know, you have a wicked sunburn. Not only is it painful, but now that summer has arrived and every day feels like an opportunity for beach adventures with your friends, having red skin isn’t exactly attractive or ideal! So what do you do when you want to fake tan over sunburn? Let’s find out.

Know Your Skin Type Before Attempting Anything Stupid

The first step to answering this question is understanding your skin type. If you’re someone who burns easily and never tans naturally (we see ya’, gingers!), then trying to apply fake tan over a burn might not be the best idea for various reasons.

Here are some of the potential issues that could arise:

• Peeling: When your skin flakes off after a peeling effect from burnt tissue.
• Streaking: Often occurs if sunlight changes colour distribution on one’s body via melanin production.
• Discoloration: Uneven pigmentation can happen due to different levels of melanocytes production
• Physiological effects on immune system

Yikes! That doesn’t sound pleasant at all!
