How to remove a tan

Has this ever been you? A subtle tan can really enhance our features and boost our sex appeal or you can end up looking like her.
Getting rid of a sun tan can be quite difficult.
However, if you do some of the things that are contrary to preserving a tan such as using a granular exfoliator regularly and you avoid further sun exposure while using a sunscreen with a higher SPF than you would normally use, your tan will begin to fade more rapidly. In addition to these measures a few home remedies might be useful for getting you closer to your goal.

1. A mixture of yogurt and lemon juice applied on the problematic spots for about 15 minutes before taking a shower can be a good way to lighten the color of your skin.

Lemon juice is a veritable natural bleaching agent so it works really well when it comes to lightening the color of your skin.

2. Alternatively a paste made with yogurt, honey and turmeric can have a similar effect. Leave this paste on the problem areas for twenty minutes than rinse with lukewarm water.

If you would rather use single ingredient instead of a paste,

3. Cucumber juice can be a good alternative for your face and neck.

4. If you have problems with redness caused by sun expose, you can soothe the skin using a mixture of honey and cucumber juice.

5. Cucumber slices can be applied on the rest of the body for a similar effect.

If the nasty tan is the result of improper use of self tanner you should have a different approach depending on the areas that need to be corrected.
Face and the neck area is not a highly problematic zone due the fact that the color tends to fade faster compared to other areas. Larger areas such as the torso, the arms or the legs can be a bigger source of frustration. However there is a quite simple and safe method you can use for these areas.

1. Baby oil is a perfect product to tackle this problem as its ingredients help break down the dye used in most self tanners.
Applying baby oil before a bath is a safe and smart way to fix a less than perfect tan. To speed up the process even more you can add ¼ cup of Epsom salt in the hot tub before jumping in to enhance the color fading you already acquired. The salty water will act as an exfoliator. Use a washcloth to accelerate the process even more but make sure to use gentle movements to prevent skin irritations.
