A tanning bed is a tanning bed, but you do not put on sun block there.
It is important to use sunscreens to prevent burning and tanning due to UVA/UVB rays. So it would take longer for a sunburn or tan to develop when the sunscreen contains UVA and SPF. This product may not work as well as a sunscreen if the spray tan interferes with its performance.

Please note that. An island getaway with a banana boat.
It is a product that we have used in the past and like. This time, however, my wife and I had to apply the product (as it seemed) every 30 minutes, and it didn't work as a sunblock. A brick-and-mortar store) the next day and it worked just fine. This lot seems to have been mismanagement. I request you to remove this item from sale, as it could cause injury since it doesn't work.
Hawaii is not an acceptable place to use the product. Despite the fact that the title of the product is "reef friendly" and it is "safe for use near natural reefs", all of the active ingredients listed on the back of the bottle are explicitly NOT reef safe in the state of Hawaii. It is possible that you are harming our ecosystems unintentionally if you use this sunscreen in places aside from a pool. In lakes and rivers the chemicals in sunscreens like this may be fine, but not in the oceans where the bleaching effects of these chemicals are killing our coral reefs. It feels like a criminal act to put "reef safe" on the label or heading of the product when it clearly isn't! In fact, even if I didn't care about that (which I do), Hawaii and many other places have banned the use of these chemicals. There may be a lot of vitamins and minerals in this sunscreen that protect the skin from sunburn, but I will In addition, it is not allowed to be returned, since it is considered a flammable item to ship (although Amazon delivered it to me, so that makes no sense), so I am out the money I paid for them.
This family gets NONE of the stars! Neither I nor my children are immune from the blisters and burns. have always wondered why someone would give a rating of zero stars in a review. My wish is to be able to do it, and here's There is no way to prevent sunburns with this product. believe that sunscreen is something every parent should use on their Even though I already had my usual sunscreen with me (coppertone sport SPF 30), I thought I would bring an extra one just in case. Due to the lack of coppertone sunscreen, I purchased a banana boat sunscreen spf 30 that was an "amazon's choice. "
The first day after purchasing the banana boat sunscreen, I used what was left of the I was in the river for the entire day, and not once did I Our two days spent at the river were very enjoyable. The banana boat sunscreen completely failed my family and I on day 2. I should have known this before day 2, but I didn't. It was applied every hour, regardless of whether we were in or out of the water. GENEROUSLY applying this product and allowing it to dry before allowing my children to swim in and out of the water was what I did. We usually use the same brand as this one as well. The crap I trust has let me down. My family and I suffered blistering burns from the bottom of our feet directly to the tips of our ears not only because it did not work, but because it also caused irreversible damage to our skin. The banana boat sunscreen has been applied to EVERY place I have applied it. It is impossible for any product to protect its users so badly in this day and age! My burns are shown in the attached photos. This product is not for you. Do not purchase it. I would think twice about buying it. It is my experience that this is a faulty sunscreen. If you use this product to prevent sunburn, you will be miserable. I am returning what's left (which isn't much) It would have been easier for me to just hunt for coppertone if I had just stayed on the hunt. There will never be another dime exchanged between me and banana boat. Invest in a good sunscreen, but don't risk your my review will be able to help the people who read it. Update
It is not possible for me to return this product since it is That's not what I expected at all. The next thing I will do is write Banana Boat directly to see if that changes anything. In any case, my review still stands. I advise you not to purchase this product. It is best to avoid sunburns unless you enjoy them.
It was used by me on a Caribbean cruise in December. I am a redhead from Michigan. By December, any remnants of a summer tan were long gone, so I was back to my original pale self. The product gave me an even tan after a few days of applying it every day. worked perfectly for spraying on my back and even on the part of my hair that I parted. While swimming, I usually burn on the top of my head. As a result, there was no burning and no After swimming, I reapplied to ensure I had the best The product is great!.
I'm a contractor who works outside in the sun all day and I need a simple sunscreen that doesn't attract dirt. As far as that is concerned, this product meets it. In the meantime, it already seems to be dry even after spreading it around a bit after application. It is not a deal-breaker, but it is not as good as the other one I used previously. I would give it 5 stars in all other respects.
The picture on one of the boxes said it was reef safe, so I purchased it. A website indicates that one of the ingredients in the bottle is not reef safe, but nowhere on the bottle does the product say it is It appears that Amazon has removed the reef safe picture from their website, so that false advertising seems to have been corrected. A few spots of my body got burned when I used this in an area where it definitely was Since it dries so fast, it can be hard to tell where you applied and where you did not apply it. Since it dries so fast, it is also challenging to rub it in afterward.
