Chemicals in fake tan products may cause major health risks, experts say

Tanning products may contain hormone-disrupting compounds as well as carcinogens, experts at the European Environment Agency have said.

The chemicals may cause fertility problems, birth defects and even cancer.

They also said the increased use of fake tan products can have skin irritants and chemicals linked to allergies, diabetes and obesity.

Scientists are worried because the product is used all over the body and is often inhaled and absorbed into the bloodstream, which could damage DNA and cause tumours.
