Question

Should I put on sunscreen every day, or should I only put sunscreen in the summer?

Community Answer

It is ideal to wear sunscreen year-round, but especially important when it is hot and sunny or when you're going to be outside for a long time. It's up to you how strict you want to be about it.

Question

How can I take away my tan in one day?

Community Answer

You can't. If you follow these tips, it should go away fast, but it is not possible to get rid of a tan in a single day without harmful bleaches or medical treatments.

Question

Can curd reduce my tan?

Community Answer

Yes, it can; however, you need additional ingrediants like honey or saffron for it to work (if you want it to work effectively). It might take a few days for visible results.

Question

For how many days should I use the Aloe Vera and lemon juice mixture for my tan to fade?

Community Answer

For best results, you should apply it until you see the results you want. Maybe once a day until your tan fades. You need to keep progressing with the process or else it will be ineffective.

Question

How long will it take for a tan to fade on South Asian skin?

Community Answer

It should take the same amount of time as anyone else. It really isn't your skin type or color that matters, it's how badly you got burnt.

Question

I got a bad orange tan from being out in the sun all summer and forgetting sunscreen. Will it fade away over time on its own?

Community Answer

It eventually will, but it might take a few months. If you want it to fade faster, try exfoliating and using dairy-based products on the tanned areas.
