Having year-round tanned skin is something that many people desire, but if you've turned brown in the dead of winter, you might not want everyone to notice. In this section, we'll look at how to remove tanning simply and step-by-step.
The average tan fades in 3–4 weeks with just daily showers; however, if you worked in the sun or vacationed in a warm climate, you may want to get rid of the tan as soon as possible to restore your clear complexion. We go over some solutions for this below.
Steps To Eliminate Tanning
1- A first remedy to eliminate the tan quickly is to exfoliate the skin in-depth, and in this way, you will be able to eliminate the layers of skin in which the sun has affected. It is a treatment that must be performed at least twice a week, to regenerate, exfoliate, and then nourish the skin with a special moisturizer.
2- For a homemade skin exfoliation, you can mix honey and brown sugar. Run over damp skin before showering to remove tan marks. A single application is enough to obtain excellent results and in a short time, the skin will be silky and smooth, with a uniform color and without traces of tan.
3- Another way to quickly remove the tan is to use a loofah sponge during each shower, to remove the superficial epidermis and highlight the underlying lighter ones. Obviously, you need to use the sponge in delicate circular movements, concentrating on areas where the tan is harder to remove, i.e. the knees and elbows.
4- If your tanning problem is that you only have certain specific parts of the body that are tanned, such as when you work in short sleeves and in the sun, you can clean the area of the arms with a compress made with lemon juice, rose water and cucumber. Lemon has a lightening effect on the epidermis, rose water refreshes, while cucumber is an excellent astringent. Gently rub the mixture onto the skin and in a short time, you will regain your healthy and natural color.
5- On the other hand, to eliminate the tan on the face, being a very delicate area, you can use natural and delicate exfoliating masks, such as those based on yogurt, lemon juice, oatmeal, or chamomile.
6- Finally, depilatory creams contain chemical substances that make them also valid remedies to eliminate tanning residues, especially artificial tanning, in not particularly delicate parts of the body. Then apply the cream to the tanned area and after waiting a few minutes, remove it, and clean the area with cold water.
