Sunscreen eventually breaks down and more has to be put on. The container usually gives directions as to how often to reapply.

When you get a really bad sunburn is there a way to not peel and keep the tan?

No, sunburn is a burn. It kills the surface layer of skin and this will peel off. However, gentle, short and prolonged exposure to the sun (never getting burned in the process) will cause melanin to appear in your skin. This sort of tan is not caused by a burn and is a semi permanent change in your skin (provided exposure to sun is kept up) and this will not peel off. HOWEVER please remember that exposure to the sun (UV rays) is harmful to the skin and can cause skin cancers later in life - bad sunburn is especially dangerous for this!

I had quite bad sunburn, and it took a week to peel. I had convinced myself that it would just brown off, but after exactly a week it started peeling. I think sunburn can start peeling at any time between a day and ten days. But I'm not an expert!!! xx
