SUMMARY
Tans can last for an extended period, with some individuals reporting tan lines remaining visible until the following year. The duration of a tan or sunburn is influenced by skin type, exposure time, and individual skin regeneration rates. Immediate skin color changes occur after sun exposure, but the return to normal pigmentation varies significantly among individuals.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of skin types and their responses to UV exposure
- Knowledge of the skin regeneration process
- Familiarity with sun protection factors (SPF) and their effectiveness
- Awareness of the effects of prolonged sun exposure on skin health
- Research the skin regeneration cycle and how it affects tanning
- Learn about effective sun protection strategies, including SPF ratings
- Explore the differences between natural and artificial tanning methods
- Investigate the long-term effects of UV exposure on skin health
Individuals interested in skincare, dermatologists, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to understand the effects of sun exposure on skin pigmentation.

Ahhhhhh there's nothing quite like scorching your skin such that it changes colour. I guess it's a bit like throwing seven chickens, two pigs, and half a cow on the barbeque...

Sorry ConcealedDreamer, I've had tan lines that lasted until the following year, and were still pretty distinct.
