Using Coca-Cola To Tan Is NOT A Good Idea
You’d have to think out of the box to try this in the first place, but in case it has ever crossed your mind, steer clear!
A good tan is easily a staple part of any savvy summer-goer’s checklist! It’s apparently so important, in fact, that some will go to extreme and downright strange lengths just to get a good tan. From an article courtesy of Foodbeast, we learned that one of these methods is swapping sunscreen or tanning oil for Coca-Cola in order to capitalize on the popular soda’s coloring. However, according to clinical research, applying Coca-Cola to one’s skin will actually make your skin burn far more easily than normal. In technical terms, “the acids in Coke can wash away layers of dead skin cells, letting more ultraviolet light in”. In other words, save the soda for drinking and stick to the tried-and-true methods of tanning — your skin will thank you!
