Can someone still tan from the sun while using a self tanning lotion?

Question by Broken Angel: Can someone still tan from the sun while using a self tanning lotion?
Please just answer my question instead of telling me how bad it is for your skin to tan in the sun..

Im just wondering, does skin still tan even with a self tanner like Jergens Natural Glow self tanning lotion on or does it act as a sunblock kind of?? Thanks.

Skin will always tan in the sun even if youve applied tanning lotion, unless the lotion contains an SPF of at least 15+.

Avoid these Self-Tanning Mistakes

Before 1960's the only way to get a tan is to stay outdoors and bathe under the harmful rays of the sun.  Self tanning products were introduced due to the scientific studies that link skin cancer with sun exposure. Products that mimic the effects of traditional tan were discovered and developed in order to get tan without exposing the skin to the harmful rays of the sun. So today, getting a tan is that easy. All you have to do is apply self tanning products and viola - instant tan! And what's really great about these products is that you can apply it to your body in the comfort of your home.

However, it is still best to caution yourself of using these sunless tanning products because of the varieties of products available in the market. Be prudent in buying products claiming that their product is the best sunless tanning product in the market.

The chemistry of our skin varies from person to person.  The best self tanner that makes somebody else's glowing tan skin may not have the same effects on yours. Thus, before purchasing the so-called best sunless tanning product, you should first test the product as it is easy to commit mistakes and be fooled with the unbelievable results that they claim.

Before undergoing the process of self tanning application, make sure that your skin is ready. This means that you have washed your skin and exfoliated it hours before applying the self tanner. It is best that you do it a day before your self-tanning activity. Exfoliation is a must to ensure that you remove the dead skin cells on your skins. Skipping this process may result to uneven and blotchy tan. And you don't want that, don't you?

After the exfoliation process, the next step is to apply the self tanner itself. The tanner product that you have chosen should be applied slowly onto the skin using circular motions instead of the usual up and down motion. Once the product is fully absorbed by the skin, then it is time to move
