Beware of the Dangerous 'Beer Tan' Trend on TikTok, Experts Warn
Experts are warning against the viral "Beer Tan" trend on TikTok, which involves covering oneself in beer to boost melanin levels and get a tan. While hops in beer can interact with skin and UV light to theoretically increase melanin, the increased risk of sunburn and skin cancer, as well as the attraction of insects due to the beer's aroma, outweigh any potential benefits.
