Does tanning permanently darken skin?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if your tan lasted long after leaving the tanning salon? We’re here to help you with that! It turns out that making your tan last is easier that it seems!  But is it possible that tanning permanently darkens skin? Keep on reading to find out.

Does tanning permanently darken skin?

The tanning bed works in a similar way to sunlight. The latest tanning salons use two types of ultraviolet radiation: UVA and UVB. That said, tanning in the tanning bed does not produce a lasting tan, it only stimulates the skin to produce melanin (a natural pigment) which is already present in the epidermis. However, if you take good care of your skin, you can extend the durability of your tan even by a few days - dark skin can last from 7 to 10 days after a visit at the tanning salon.

How to make your tan last longer?

To enjoy dark skin for long, first and foremost you must bet on moisturizing. Proper hydration before using tanning bed, the use of professional tanning lotions and after tan skincare tailored to your needs are the key to success.
