People with very pale skin burn much easier than those with a darker skin tone. If you’re someone who has light skin and know that you will be exposed to the sun on a vacation or outdoor event, prevent yourself from getting burned by developing a base tan. A base tan is a very light tan that people strive to get before long-term sun exposure. The idea behind a base tan is that if you expose your skin to the sun little by little, it builds up a gradual tan so your skin won’t burn from overexposure.
Having a healthy tan often makes you look slimmer, healthier and more attractive. If you are going on a vacation where the sun is shining you may wish to get a base tan first before you sit out in the sun. Taking the time to get a base tan will protect your skin from getting a sunburn and will help you to have a beautiful tan.
A tingler is a special type of tanning lotion that functions by increasing the flow of blood to the skin with the ingredient benzyl or methyl nicotinate. This results in a tingling sensation wherever it is applied, which is the reason behind its name. The increased blood flow to the skin accelerates your tan. Before you use a tingler, you need to understand what it will do and the best ways to use it.
There is no safe way to build a base tan without damaging the skin, even with short periods of time spent in the sun. Use a self-tanner or gradual tanning lotion to achieve the look of a base tan with tips from a makeup artist in this free video on skin care.
