A doctor has warned people against participating in a TikTok trend called “sunscreen contouring,” calling it “nonsense.”
The trend encourages users to put sunscreen on some parts of their face while leaving other areas exposed, aiming to create a contoured look from a tan.
“A tan is skin damage, there’s no such thing as a safe tan,” Doctor Amir Khan told Lorraine on Friday (11 July).
“A contour might last for a few days, but premature skin ageing, skin cancer, that goes on for a lot longer. You don’t want to risk that,” he added.
