This article is factually incorrect. It states that a fake tan will prevent skin damage by radiation. This is not the case. The skin is just as vulnerable to radiation with fake tan applied as without.
This is a correct dispute: few if any tanning lotions contain any UV protection.
Have deleted dispute box as the disputed information is no longer present.
what's the point edit
Then what's the point of getting a fake tan if it's not going to protect you from UV radiation? Scorpionman 19:45, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

The point is that with a 'fake tan' you can get the desired tan in a way that isn't harmful and doesn't involve exposure to UV light. Technically it doesn't protect you from UV radiation it is just a safer alternative than sun bathing or a tanning bed. You could argue that fake tans indirectly protect from UV radiation.
