I've gone really darker this summer (im dark skinned) will my origonal skin colour return?

Question

If so how long?

What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

Answer 1

it will take a while.

use sunscreen at least 30 spf everyday

Answer 2

I don't really know much but I'm guessing your normal skin color will return. In the sumer I always get tan and then it seems to go away by the next summer because you can't see the tan lines anymore. To prevent this from happening again i suggest using a very strong (70 SPF) sunblock.

Hope I Helped!

Answer 3

Well the answer is yes. By the time Halloween rolls around you should return back to your normal shade, and if not definitely by christmas : ). If you don't want to burn so much use hats, light airy  clothing for a little more protection than just bare skin, and sunscreen though it didn't work for me, but everyone is different, good luck.

Answer 4

It is called a tan.  The purpose of the increased melanin is to protect the skin and body from excess vitamin D production from the sun and other damage.  Dark skinned people come originally from regions with lots of sun where light skinned people were killed off by evolution.  You will lose your tan at about the same rate as light skinned people and can prevent it with sun block like they should.

Answer 5

Yep - it always goes back eventually because your skin is always replenishing itself. Dead skin falls off and new skin is constantly growing.

It takes a good month (if you are TOTALLY out of the sun) for the tan to fade away, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. My tan actually stayed for a long time last summer - but I was in and out of the sun a lot, so I couldn't really tell how long it took.  

Answer 6

Answer 9

Hi yes during the summer we do get a tan, dark skin. Our skin will return back to our normal colour. Just use a scrub gently on your skin in a shower. To prevent this stay away from the hot sun and wear sunscreen. http://epictureperfect.net/safety_tips.p...
