Cosmo Magazine asks, "Does a base tan protect your skin?"
Dr. Crutchfield says, “No. The only time your skin produces a tan is when the cells are damaged. In fact, research has shown that one of the major factors in producing a sun tan is damaged fragments of DNA floating around in the cells that cause a release of melanin, which is the pigment producing a tan. When someone gets a tan, even a base tan, this is a result of damaged DNA.”
