The "tan," or pigmentation process, occurs in the epidermis, the top skin layer. The epidermis replaces all its skin cells every 28-30 days. Cells in the inner portion of the top skin layer divide themselves, migrate to the surface, gradually die and slough off. Skin cells contain melanin, and as a result of UV exposure, rise to the surface and flake off. Therefore, a tan can be maintained only by repeated exposure to UV light.

Answer: Skin cells are constantly reproducing and renewing themselves. As they do this, they push the old cells to the top of the skin and the old cells fall off. The old cells were the ones you tanned--so you must now tan the new cells to keep the dark color. See similar questions...

A Facial skin is thinner than the skin found on the abdomen, legs, and arms. In addition, the face is exposed to the environment continually and requires anti-aging products, potions, and makeup to protect the skin. While these products "save face," due to their exfoliating nature they break down the tan more quickly. See similar questions...

Long exposure to water, with or without chlorine, will fade your sunless tan. An expert explained to me what happens: your outer skin cells will start to soak up water, and that dilutes the effect of the sunless tan. The longer you are in the water, the worse it will be. Using sunless tanners regularly over a period of time will saturate the skin better and the sunless tan will hold up longer in water, but it will still be affected. See similar questions...

Whether you tan outdoors under the sun or indoors in a professional tanning facility, the tanning process is the same. This natural process takes place when your skin is exposed to ultraviolet light. Here is an overview. Light is composed of energy waves that travel from the sun to the Earth. Each energy wave can be identified by its length in nanometers, (nm), which is one-billionth of a meter. Light can be broken into three general categories: infrared, visible and invisible. See similar questions...

The top skin layer is continuously renewing itself. Depending on a person's age, the renewal cycle takes anywhere from once a month to about 50 days to complete. Melanin that has been produced in the skin and tanned is working its way to the top of the skin until it surfaces. At this point you have tanned melanin both in your skin and on the surface of your skin. Tanned melanin on the surface of the skin is going to remain there only as long as it takes to shave or wash it off. See similar questions...

Even the most “Permanent” hair products are not truly permanent. Once the henna’s dye has oxidized and reached its final shades, the color is permanently impregnated into the strand. Shampooing, chlorine, blow-drying, will all cause some type of degradation. See similar questions...

The truth is that the red or pinkish tinge you see is actually sunburn (or erythema)--your skin's worst enemy. See similar questions...

A As mentioned before, the part of the skin that achieves the tan appearance is a layer of dead skin cells. When the DHA first reacts with these cells, (which by nature are very dry) you almost always get a smooth and even tan. As the tan fades and your skin goes through its natural exfoliation process, these dead skin cells shed. Not every cell turns over at the same rate. You may have some "tanned" cells that remain or last longer while others fade away. See similar questions...

Light colors go transparent faster than darker colors, and solids don't provide as much coverage as patterns. Irregular patterns are better than regular patterns (eg: stripes). White, yellow, and red will fade rapidly; blue and green last longer. Look for suits with a lining in the front to provide better coverage. Red suits often have a black lining for longer usability.
