Tanning and whatnot.

[Catarsi Sol]

The main thing I wanna know is, is there a way to keep the tan permanently?

 

[Superpenguin]

Spend around an hour or so at the island each day and it shouldn't be going away any time soon.

 

[Hamusuta]

There is no way to keep it permanently, but as Superpenguin said, if you go there everyday it will stay

 

[Nami]

You'll need a guide on times if you want to keep a specific shade the same at all times. Going darkest would be easiest to keep track of, but yeah. With the island, you can certainly get tanning a lot easier.

Is there any way to prevent a tan, like wearing sunglasses/an umbrella? (I forgot what you had to do in the past games) I think I'll be spending a lot of time on the island, but I don't want to be super tan all the time!

Apparently if you wear a hat on the island you will not tan.

No, like others have said, you must continuously be in the sun for a certain amount of time each day to keep a tan

I'm kind of disappointed that we can't change skin tones. Especially with all of this new customization..

 

[Pokeking]

Maybe in the next game they will have a skin tone customization.

I thought I could fix that problem with the Mii Mask, but nope, the arms and legs won't match the skin tone of the Mii.

I hope this is true. I don't want a tan. Not for my main character anyways.

 

[Punchyleaf]

It's only certain hats that actually stop a tan, not all of them

 

[eresin]

That is so cool, I never knew your character would get a tan! Do they get sunburn and need medicine if you stay in the sun too much?

Nope! It's a pure aesthetic thing!

The arms and legs will automatically change to match the mii skin tone. It did that on city folk, so I don't see why it wouldn't on this game. If it doesnt in this game, you can wear jeans/long dress and a long sleeved shirt. But I always HATED the mii mask... it just doesnt go with the whole animal crossing style and it doesnt look as good as the animal crossing faces.

I knew this would come in handy:

 

[Cottonball]

I dont wanna tan :<

 

[Officer Berri]

Looks like I'm gonna need me a special hat when I visit the island to fish and catch bugs! I'm as pale as one could be and I have no intentions on being tan!

 

[Superpenguin]

Spoiler

What? The Lemon Pack stops you from tanning? lol

 

[Officer Berri]

It's the MAGIC OF CITRUS!

 

[Dreamer]

It's the MAGIC OF CITRUS!

Lemon brightens the skin, after all!

Thanks for the list of hats! Very helpful. I think it would be easier just to use an umbrella.

How long does it usually take to fade?
