Does tanning permanently darken the skin?

Wouldn't it be wonderful if your tan lasted long after you'd left the tanning bed? We're here to help, because extending the life of your tan isn't that difficult! But is it possible for tanning to permanently darken your skin? We'll answer that question in today's article.

How does a solarium work?

A tanning bed works similarly to sunlight. Modern tanning beds use two types of ultraviolet radiation: UVA and UVB. However, this radiation doesn't produce a lasting tan; it only stimulates the skin to produce melanin (a natural pigment already present in the epidermis). However, with proper skin care, you can extend the tan's lifespan by up to several days – bronzed skin can last from 7 to 10 days after a tanning bed visit.

How to extend the life of your tan?

To enjoy bronzed skin for a long time, you should prioritize hydration. Proper hydration before tanning, using professional lotions, and following tanning care tailored to your needs are key to success.
