How long does it take for a dark tan to completely fade?

I naturally have very very light skin, porcelain like...

it never fades 100% completely - people get darker as they age. but several weeks to fade most of it.

if you are that light, you should not get dark tans, because the amount of sun exposure it takes for you to get there, definitely involves skin damage

when you are very young you do not get to see that you put your skin on an "accelerated aging schedule" because 22 year old skin isn't that different from a 26 year old skin, but after 30 you would be not pleased with how your skin ages faster than your girlfriends'.

i like to say it about p**** but I'll say the same about a girl's skin - take good care of it and it will take good care of you ;-)

I know, this is the very first time in my life that I have tanned my skin. I generally avoid staying out in the sun, but it was difficult because I went to Hawaii on holiday. I hate being tanned. Thanks for your answer x

Tan skin can be sexy (tan lines plus if you have tiny blond fuzz on your body it pops against dark skin and that is super sexy unlike black body hair) and a small amount of exposure enables your body to generate vitamin D. So don't shun sun completely, but yes you'll do well to protect yourself.

No idea I tan really easy and it takes months for it to fade from me.Depends on your skin tone

Why would you want to tan your skin? Porcelain, pale skin is gorgeous.
