I never heard that these self-tanners are supposed to cause skin cancer.

It looks like this is the main ingredient. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydroxyacetone

The article suggests that the stuff does temporarily make the skin more vulnerable to UV, so the user should avoid sunlight after application, instead of seeking it out like the ad says.

For that artificial uneven orange look, now with added actual harmful UV exposure. Sounds good.
