How long does a tan last?

Question

I've never really sat out and tanned for very long in my life. i'm almost 20 so i'm not really worried about skin cancer because i won't be doing it often. The thing is my skin is very fair but i tan moderately easy as opposed to burning but i'm wondering how long does a tan last? i don't want to buy new makeup because my face is tan lol

Answer 1

About a month

Answer 2

How long a tan lasts varies by each individual's skintone. A person with a naturally darker one can hold a tan for a solid week or two after just establishing it. Since your skin is fair, I would say the tan will only last a couple of days at most if not maintained (i.e. if you get a tan and then don't get much sun or try to tan again). Basically, you would probably need to tan twice a week give or take to maintain it.

Answer 3

Well, mine lasted till about September. (Keep in mind I started going to the beach in June.) But then again, I was outside, in the sun 24/7. And I went to the beach and pool once or twice every week. But since you won't be out to tan much, your tan will last about two weeks.

Answer 4

If you go out once tan will not last long but if you tan at least once a week it will last thru the summer. Just don't buy real expensive base. Once I start getting dark I just use a powder bronzer to even out my color.
