A member asked:

If you are fairly pale and you start tanning a lot everyday to the point you are almost black. will you just go back to white in the end?

Excess tanning: Tanning is a form of skin damage. Excess tanning can result in wrinkling of skin as as well as dark spots. You will not go back to the initial skin color but slightly darker each time your tan fades.
