yes, many of them will clog your pores %26amp; cause problems. BUT, sun exposure on your face will also cause skin breakouts. I also have fair sensitive skin %26amp; any color I receive from the sun costs me in breakouts, burns, freckles %26amp; sun spots. best think would just to use a bronzer if all you want is a little color/glow.
Reply:Yes.
Reply:Yes it is true especially those self tanners are known for causing skin breakouts.
Reply:any type of oil can clog pores, if you want to tan, use a mosturizing lotion without oils in it and a SPF of around 20, this will still allow you to tan, but it will block the harmful rays. It will just take you longer to get color. There are some good sunless tanners out there, it is just a matter of finding a high quality one.
