Tan still here.: Different folks have tan go away different depending on the content of melanocytes in their skin and how much burning (tan) you have done to your skin. You may want to look at older friends and family with really wrinkled skin and ask if they did a lot of tanning when they were your age. If so consider what you are setting your skin up for in the future. The choice is yours.
