Answer 1

Over time you will become less dark but that happens in the winter. The sun basically cooks your skin, just look at how a chicken changes colors when it's cooked.

Answer 2

Lucky ******

Dont complain =]

I went to Florida for 2 weeks and my tan lasted about a week

Now I'm pale and unhealthy looking again.

Answer 3

its because you might have oily skin, so when you get a tan its the sun rays that cause damage, and because you might have oily skin (even a little bit oily) your skin takes the sun rays in and the oils locks it in. which makes it last longer. so that is why your tan has lasted longer .

i hope this helps =)
