Your Eyes are Priceless | The Value of Indoor Lotion | Are You Seeing White Spots? Keep that Colour! Tanning takes place in the top layer of skin, the epidermis. The sloughing and renewal of these skin cells takes about a month, with cells that have finished their cycle laying on the surface until shaved or washed away. As your skin sheds, the tan appearance naturally disappears. Regular use of harsh soaps can shorten your tan’s life, too. The skin’s essential oils form a moisture-lock and when depleted leave tanned skin cells more vulnerable to being lightened or washed away. Shower gels, with lower, less alkaline pH levels, are not as apt to completely strip the natural oils. Schedule regular tanning sessions is the best way to maintain your golden glow!
