Dr. Heck:
The risk associated with self tanners is very minimal. Any topical product you apply to your skin you risk an allergy, but that would be very, very rare. They are safe products, unlike tanning beds that have large percentage of UVA and UVB rays, which age the skin prematurely as well as expose you to a much greater risk of skin cancer.
