What do you advise if i'm naturally tan but became pale over time if i get a tan will it stay or fade?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most people will have an increase in melanin production in the sun. People with more pigment in their skin will tend to keep a tan longer, but without sun exposure, the skin color will also be paler.
