How
long does my tan last?
Approximately
2 to 4 weeks after your last tanning session or sunbath. Due
to the natural process of skin renewal, the upper skin cells
will be pushed away. After approximately 28 days, your tan will
have faded. You can make your tan last by moisturizing your skin
with special tanning products.
Why
doesn't skin tan equally?
The inner
side of your arms and legs don't tan as easily as other parts
of your body because they have less pigment-forming cells.
Your face needs longer to tan because it has a thicker horn
skin (for protection from UV-B). Freckles and birthmarks consist
of much more tanning pigments and therefore tan faster. For
a "seamless" tan, use ergonomically formed tanning
beds.
What
should I do if I still get a sunburn?
If you have a light sunburn,
take a break from the sun for a few days and moisturize with
special lotion. Hydrate! If your skin is burnt severely you
should see a doctor.
How can I make my tan last longer?
Visit a tanning salon twice a week. A few minutes of tanning is enough
to maintain your color.
