Can sun tans be permanent?
Can a tan be permanent? A tan is never permanent because skin naturally exfoliates itself over time. This causes the tanned skin to flake off. Anyone who you see who seems “permanently” tan either has darker skin naturally, uses a sunless tanning lotion or spray tans, or goes in the sun regularly.
How long does it take for the sun to darken your skin?
Most people will tan within 1 to 2 hours in the sun. It’s important to remember that both burns and tans may take a while to set in, so if you don’t see color immediately, it doesn’t mean you’re not getting any color or should use lower SPF. Any type of tanning has risks, including skin cancer.
