Is spray tan bad for you?!


Question: I have searched and searched Google for info on this but really can't find anything. I am a big fan of spray-on tans from a can but I am thinking - there are so many chemicals that can contribute to lung diseases (or for that matter, cancer of the throat and nose too) - what information do we have that the ingredients in spray tans are safe to breathe in? Because inevitably when you spray, you can't help but breathe in some of that stuff.

I can't believe I haven't thought of this until now!!

Any info would be great :)

Well, there may be chemicals in the cans, but you also risk skin cancer from going in a tanning bed, and skin cancer from prolonged sun exposure, for naturual tans. I would think spray tans are better....
