Does "beer shower" help with tanning? Experts warn against this dangerous trend on TikTok
An unexpected new trend is gaining popularity on TikTok. People are throwing beer at each other and claiming that it allegedly helps to get an exquisite tan.
At the same time, experts say that the new beer trend is quite dangerous. This is discussed in the article by indy100.
In this trend, people pour beer on themselves, claiming that it helps them to quickly tan in the sun. However, not everything is as fun as the authors of the viral videos say.
"Science explains why beer can help us achieve a perfect tan because the hops in beer activate melanin, a substance in our body that is responsible for the darkness of the skin," experts explain.
However, if you replace the use of sunscreen with a can of festive beer, you will remain vulnerable to the effects of the sun without protection. This can lead to an increased risk of sunburn, heat stroke, or even sun poisoning in severe cases. Experts warn against the dangerous trend.
Beer is to drink and sunscreen is for a safer tan, the journalists added.
