Viral TikTok suncream trend sparks medical warning
- A doctor has issued a warning against the TikTok trend known as "sunscreen contouring", dismissing it as "nonsense."
- The trend encourages users to apply sunscreen to certain parts of their face while leaving other areas exposed, aiming to create a contoured look from a tan.
- Dr Amir Khan said that a tan is skin damage, stressing that there is no such thing as a safe tan.
- He cautioned that while a contour might be temporary, the risks of premature skin ageing and skin cancer are long-term and not worth taking.
