How can I preserve my tan?

I've just got back from my holiday/vacation and my skin is a lovely golden brown colour. Is there a way for me to keep this skin tone for longer, instead of it just fading away back to pale in about a week?

Thanks for any help!

    Moisturize daily, twice daily if you can! Moisturized skin not only tans better, but keeps your tan longer because there is not as many dry/dead skin cells that will be 'shedding' from your body. It sounds gross but this is just how the skin works, and we can't even see it happening anyway.

    This will also ensure you don't start peeling! Other than that, try and get out in the sun a few times a week. This will keep your tan up as well.

    Goodluck! :)
