Have you heard of a base tan? Spoiler alert: it is not a thing! We love a great bronzed look, but prolonged sun exposure and spending too much time in tanning beds can increase your risk of skin damage and cancers like melanoma. The thought process behind base tans is to get tanned "ahead of time" and avoid burning after 20 minutes in the sun. Board-certified dermatologists, like our team at @skintap_official, recommend wearing high SPF sunscreens instead. It is a more reliable way to tan without the burn. Trust us - you'll still achieve a sun-kissed look 😉 #Skintap #YourBestSkinIsOneTapAway
