Dangers of tanning

If i tan using a high spf, a tan enhancer such as Institut Esthederm for light skin and do not expose myself durin 12:00 and 16:00, is tanning still dangerous? Because i have heard that just tanning a little is already a negative reaction to the sun ..

Also, are "tan enhacer" and "sun preparing" pills any use?

Thanks for your help :)

Hello,
Suntanning whether natural or by using suntanning products is always dangerous and you should avoid suntanning because it is always associated with a risk of skincancer. Hence my advice would be to avoid suntanning to avoid any risk of skin cancer as well.
