How long does a sun tan last?

Question

I went to North Africa for two weeks and got a very good sun tan. I'm from the place itself so it looks natural on me.

Just wondering when will it start to fade off? Days, weeks, months?

Ps.. I didn't use no creams, oils or lotions while I was away, I'm Tunisian so not in any need of it.

Answer 1

it depends on your skin tone. if your dark then it will stay a long time, if you have fair skin it will go away quicker.

Answer 2

A suntan usually lasts for at least 2 weeks. For me it's more, mine lasts until Christmas. You could make a good tan last longer by using aloe vera. I've never tried it myself, but I heard that it works. Look for it in the suntan section at the drugstore.

Answer 5

It varies.

Your skin tends to loose a shade or two every week you're not in the sun.

If you are in areas of high UV index then your tan will be prolonged, and yours may stay longer because you are naturally dark.

Allow a week for a one or two shades.

Depending on how dark you were and how dark you have become, it may take from 1-3 months to fully loose the tan.

Answer 6

depends whether you used suncream

if you did then it will last longer than if you didn't,
