    degradtion of tanning

    How long before you completely stop injections will the tan start to fade considering that you have almost entirely avoided any UV exposure (except brief exposure to go back and forth to work) and* have protected the skin with an SPF of 70 with these brief but necessary daily exposures.

    One of those near impossible questions to address unfortunately.* The tan can fade while you are injecting....

    This question will need to be more specific and/or detailed

    Re: degradtion of tanning

    Chris,
    Sorry for the confusion in my wording. The problem is I tanned too quickly in the beginning. After only 4 days of injections and no sunscreen I was very dark on the face and arms with very minimal sun so I started using an spf 70 on the face and arms religiously.
    So after* stopping injections after 9 days......... and* (3 weeks later)* I have not lightened up any.
    I* want to lighten up a little before continuing on with the regime.

    Oh wow, sorry to read the present challenge mellow

    Do my best to advocate protecting the face/arms from UVR here...most of us learn the for ourselves however in this experience

    I would treat myself to some relaxation and go to the spa...a facial might be nice and lighten you up after a couple days.* Besides keeping the skin clean and exfoliated - hard to control the rate at which you lighten

    Best of luck and please keep us posted
