TikTok users claim that splashing beer on the skin results in "the best tan ever" and that it is a cheap and quick way to achieve the desired bronze color. However, experts have dubbed this method as "very dangerous." Beer makes us sticky and attracts flies like a magnet, while also exposing us to the risk of heatstroke and deadly skin cancer.

Kathryn Clifford, co-founder of the charity organization Skcin for raising awareness about skin cancer, told The Sun: "I can barely believe this insanity exists. This is an extremely dangerous so-called ‘trend’ with potentially very serious consequences
“Sun damage is cumulative, irreparable and the direct cause of 90 per cent of the UK’s most common cancer“
Furthermore, skin cancer is disproportionately common in young adults and is one of the deadliest cancers in the age group of 15 to 34 years, the same group that uses the mentioned social platform more than any other.
True beer enthusiasts would definitely never do such a foolish thing.

Various types of beer are being used in different TikTok videos. Not only does it make your skin sticky, but you'll also end up smelling like a bar. Moreover, it's actually risky! Not applying sunscreen leaves you susceptible to sunburn. Furthermore, severe sunburn can even result in sun poisoning, which is definitely not a pleasant experience.
