Yes—self-tanner doesn’t protect your skin from UV rays, so sunscreen is still a must.
A self-tan is purely cosmetic—it gives the look of a glow, but not the protection. Whether you're using Life Proof Tan Spray or Tanning Drops, the color doesn't block sun damage. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily, especially on exposed areas. Layer it after your tan has fully developed (usually 8 hours) to avoid streaking.
