This has to do with the skin cell composition of the individual. Skin cells will exfoliate and replenish at different times for different people. Using the right tanning lotions can help improve the strength and longevity of the tan.
Spray tans are achieved by using bronzers and other products that dye the skin and give it the appearance of a tan. When done properly, a spray tan can look very natural, but many people are left wondering how long it will last. On average, a spray tan will last between five and 15 days. Some people may lose their tan in a week, some in two weeks while others yet will keep such a tan for a much longer period.
You start to lose your tan when the uppermost of your skin cells are shed through the natural skin renewal process. The human skin undergoes a full renewal cycle in about 28 days. In this cycle, some of the cells of the epidermis the outer layer of your skin slough off about once a week, as the cells move up from the bottom of the epidermis to the top. These are then replaced by young new cells. As you lose your pigment-carrying cells during the skin renewal process, you start to gradually lose your tan.
Therefore, the only way to maintain a tan is through repeated exposure to UV light,. In most cases, tanners start to notice the loss of shade between one and two weeks.
Others may not notice this until the third week. Nearly everyone however will lose their tans within four weeks of tanning. There are several tricks to making your tan last longer that it will naturally do otherwise. One top tip to prolonging a tan is to scrub off older skin cells before tanning on the sunbed so that the pigment-carrying cells are not sloughed off quickly and remain in place for as long as possible.
Some people are able to maintain a tan for a little longer than 28 days utilizing this simple trick. This skin type rarely burns and manages to tan very easily.
Now that you are able to determine your skin type, you should follow the below chart on how long you should spend in a tanning bed over a period of 4 weeks. The tanning session times for the different skin types are there to protect your skin. They might seem short, especially for the fairer skin types, but any more time spent in the sun will only lead to sunburn and peeling, which will leave your skin damaged and tan-free. The first session, and the first 2 weeks, help to build a base tan , which works to allow for a darker tan to develop over the next few sessions, offering slight protection to the skin.
The first 3 weeks are the most important, so while a 1 or 2-minute session might seem frustrating at first, it will pay off in the long run with helping you to both tan for longer and maintain a healthy glow. The time limits of the different skin types in tanning beds are there for a reason, they are there to protect each skin type from damage, from burning, and from not achieving a golden tan.
For the fairer skin types, this is especially true, as spending even a few minutes too long in a tanning bed will result in sunburn, and the skin will peel and any possible tan will be stripped away as well. If this is your skin type, you should be very wary of using a tanning bed. Your skin will burn really easily, so you should essentially only spend 1 minute in the tanning bed for the first 3 sessions. You can build up from this, but you should only do so in 1 or 2-minute increments.
As soon as you start feeling your skin become warm or uncomfortable, you should end the tanning session right then.
Only having 1-minute sessions at first is how you build up a base tan, to set the right tone for your tan going forward. If you spend too long in the tanning bed, even 1 minute too long, your skin will begin to peel and you will have to start the process all over again.
Use a tan accelerator when in the tanning bed to help your tan develop faster, and to protect your skin from drying out. Skin type 2 is also prone to burning, so you need to practice caution. If at any point in the sunbed session you feel your skin burning or becoming uncomfortable, you should end the session.
You need to build up your base tan in small increments, to prevent burning and peeling. You should also use a tan accelerator to make the most of your short tanning sessions, while still giving your skin the extra nourishment that it will need. This skin type still needs to be cautious when tanning in a sunbed, but their sessions can be slightly longer than the first two types.
The process should not be rushed, and tanning should be done in short sessions. With this skin type, you will notice results quickly, but do not push this, as your skin is still likely to burn from overexposure. Once again, you should use a tan accelerator to help your skin darken in this short amount of time and to help deliver nourishment and nutrients to your skin, which will dry out under the UV rays.
