It is the process in which the skin secretes dark brown colored pigments called melanin which makes the skin to look darker. This happens due to sun naturally. But today in some countries people follow a kind of trend to get tanned by taking sun bath. Some like this tanned look whereas others just want to get rid of this tan as they want to look lighter in complexion and find it more beautiful. Overexposure to sun causes this effect and can even cause sunburns. This makes skin red brown in color and excessive dryness can cause peeling off the skin.  Those who wanted to get rid of this, here are some very simple tips which help a lot to get lighter complexion and protect your skin from getting tanned.

  • Apply sun block to your skin in the form of lotions or sunscreen of very high SPF (sun protection factor) content as it prevents your skin from getting more tanned. You should apply it 15 -20 minutes before going out in sun so that the skin can absorb it properly. You should reapply the sunscreen after toweling off or after swimming. Reapply it even after excessive sweating.
  • You should avoid going out in between 10:00 am to 3:00 pm as the sun is hottest during this period. Hence causes over production of melanin.
