Why do we lose our carefully built up tan in a matter of a dozen weeks?

Asked by rebbel (35553points) August 2nd, 2011

In summer a lot of us like to sunbath and get ourselves a nice tan.
I am one of them, it cost me several weeks to build me a bronzed skin, I do it very careful, not longer then half an hour in direct sunlight.
So now I have it, but in two, three months I am white® again.
Why doesn’t it stay, the tan?
How come it fades?
