What is a potential risk of tanning products that are misused?

The potential risk of allergic reactions is significant when tanning products are misused. Misuse can occur when individuals use products inappropriately, either by overapplying them or using them in combination with other products that may not be compatible. This can lead to the skin reacting negatively, resulting in rashes, irritation, or other allergic responses.

Understanding this risk is crucial for users of tanning products because allergic reactions can vary widely in severity and can lead to long-term skin issues or discomfort. Also, it's important for users to perform patch tests and carefully consider the ingredients in tanning products to help mitigate the risk of an allergic reaction. In contrast, while increased tanning speed, lowered tanning effectiveness, and skin hydration are relevant to tanning products, they are not associated with the health risks stemming from misuse in the same manner as allergic reactions.
