A base tan provides you with a base tan of 2-4. your skin turning brown is your bodies biological defense against overexposure. The job of melanin is to absorb UV light and not allow them to damage your epidermis and dermis layers of the skin.
Likely not a great idea to get health advice Michele as I see many misleading statements. Self tanners and sunscreens are FULL of carcinogenic ingredients, for instance do yourself a favor and Google "oxybenzone" you will be surprised what you find and even more surprised thats its in almost every major sunscreen.
