So summer is here, and you want to tan fast. You’re staying outside for longer and it’s easy to assume this is why you tan faster or explain your painful burns. But there's much more at play here than just physical time outside. How long in takes to tan largely depends on the following factors.
A day? 2 days? A week? Will your skin tan straight away? Will your first day of sunbathing get you a visible tan by the evening? By tomorrow? Or will you see it later and if so, how much later? How long does it take to get a noticeable tan? Understanding the science behind these questions is what will save you from sunburn plus get you the tan you long for.
