Everyone loves to enjoy beaches in the summers and have fun in the sun. But no person wants to deal with the after-effects of sun exposure. Exposure to the UV rays of the sun leads to skin tanning along with various skin problems like hyperpigmentation, dark spots, loss of skin moisture which makes the skin look dull etc.

Tanning is the most common skin problem found in individuals. Tanning is caused majorly due to exposure to sun rays which increase melanin production. Melanin is the reason for skin colour. With an increase in melanin, the skin gets darker. Tanning causes the exposed areas of your body like the face, arms, legs, neck etc to become dark. The dark patches make your skin look uneven and untoned. This hampers the confidence of an individual to an extent that he/she shies away from going out of the house. But, there is a remedy to all the problems.

In this article, you will find various measures for removing sun tan from the face and skin- both naturally and with the help of professional treatments.

How to Remove Tan

Removal of tanning involves skin exfoliation to get rid of dead skin cells which in turn reduces excessive melanin. After tan removal, the skin gets even-toned; there is a healthy glow on the skin which gives you a youthful look.

Tan removal creams or bleaches present in the market are a short term solution for tanning since they only tend to the surface layer. Change in your diet along with drinking plenty of fluids is one way to keep your skin healthy for tan removal. Always include skin-friendly foods in your diet like salads, vegetables, fruits etc.

How to Remove Sun Tan

Chemical peels

Dermatologists prefer this method over others to remove sun tan from the face, neck, arms, legs or other parts of the body. A chemical peel is applied on the affected part that helps in removing the dead skin layers consisting of excessive melanin. This is turn, provides quick exfoliation and promotes skin regeneration. The new skin underneath is soft, smooth and lighter. Chemical peels can also help in treating some mild acne scars, fine lines etc.

Laser toning

Home Remedies to Remove Sun Tan

There are various home remedies used for treating tanning. Some of them are-

• Honey and lemon juice

Vitamin C and citric acid present in lemon also help in lightening acne marks on the skin. Additionally, you can also mix some sugar granules in the mixture to make a scrub.

• Saffron and milk

Mix some saffron with milk and let it leave its colour. Apply this to your face and leave it on. This helps in improving skin texture, achieving glowing skin along with treating dark circles, acne, pimples etc.

• Coconut milk

Apply organic coconut milk all over your face with cotton. Leave it until it dries off completely and then wash it away with a milk cleanser. The vitamin C present in coconut milk help in tan removal. It is also very nourishing for the skin and restores skin moisture.

• Turmeric and sandalwood powder

Mix a pinch of turmeric in sandalwood powder with milk paste. Apply this as a face pack and leave it on until it dries off. While turmeric has healing properties, sandalwood is cooling to the damaged skin and milk exfoliates. Together- these three help in restoring lost skin texture.

• Aloe Vera gel
