A base tan will help hide the lines, but it does not protect your skin.
Okay... I'm getting off the soapbox now. White is the new tan, I'm telling you No matter what you do you should always put lots of sunscreen when you go outside. You'll be thankful when you are older and don't have skin cancer like all the young girls I see that tan 5 times a week.
