As a beauty editor, there is one question that I am repeatedly asked at this time of year: Does fake tan stop you from getting a real tan? And while I am here to act as the voice of beauty reason and tell you lounging in the sun for hours on end isn't wise for your skin health, I also know some of you are going to ignore me—so let me answer the question for you.
Whatever fake tan formula you've opted for (whether it be a tanning water, a gradual tanner or a facial tan), it's important to know that, when it comes to IRL tanning, it's business as usual.
