Are suntans permament?

[YOLOisonlyprinciple]

Hey i vacationed in some remote islands for like 10 days. I spent like 10+ hours per day on the beach enjoying swimming in clear waters.


However, now that ive got back, im like 4shades darker.. (i never used any sunscreen. I guess i shouldve..)
This is the first time ive got sun tan.

My coworkers are saying i should get some facials done, but i feel like im a guy,i dont really need to do that stuff. They say if i dont get facials done, my suntan will be permanent~


Are suntans permanent if left untreated, or do they go away in like 3-4months?

Yes, yes they are. You are now officially an inferior human.

Yeah as opposed to women who shrivel up, turn orange and die if they don't do facials after tanning, you should be fine cuz ur a guy and don't need to do them. XD

Good thing your coworkers know about suntanning though. Let us know what you decide.

Didn't your parents keep you bundled up completely until you were 18?
...negligence. Wow.

Usually they fade even if some damage is done; permanently working out in the fields for years generally made people darker than they would be and weather-beaten.

Same with those old girls in the 20th century who soaked up the Riviera sun.



The first were poor and had little choice.

The second were rich and had skin cancer.

Tanning isn't permanent, unless your skin was turned to leather.

Then you might want to see a doctor or a tailor.

It's not permanent. But dont do that no sunblock crap again. Skin cancer sucks balls.

I think he was. I got triggered a few years ago when he said India has great healthcare but i now come to think it was just because he's sheltered.

Anyways, lets just help OP work his way in the world. There's a bit of progress already IMO.

OP you will be fine, it will last a couple of months max, the internet can help you reduce it if you google the question.
