Some followers has been rubbing beer directly on their skin
Leading dermatologists have warned those participating in the newest 'beer tanning' trend that it could be bad for their health.
"Proponents of this trend claim that the sugars and acids in beer can help darken the skin, and potentially provide additional benefits due to the presence of antioxidants and vitamins in some beer types." The dermatologist said: "As a consultant dermatologist treating patients with skin cancer on a daily basis, I feel compelled to stress the utmost importance of exercising caution and mindfulness when it comes to the TikTok trend of ‘beer tanning’.
The expert added: "UV radiation is a known carcinogen and a major contributor to skin damage, which can manifest as sunburn, premature ageing, and an increased risk of skin cancer, including melanoma." Dr Khan explained: "I cannot stress enough the significance of using quality and appropriate SPF products to shield the skin from harmful UV rays. Sunscreen with a high SPF rating, along with broad-spectrum protection, is essential to safeguard the skin effectively.
Is it even worth trying a beer tan? According to the experts – no. If you do enjoy a beer while tanning, it's better to keep it for its intended purpose - drinking.
