How to Remove Sun Tan?

Summary: In this article you’ll get to know about how to remove sun tan, fine lines, tan skin and uneven skin tone by following some best tips and methods.

Your body tries to defend itself against the sun’s harmful UV rays by developing a tan. The substance called melanin is what causes skin to darken or tan. Under the skin’s surface layers, melanin is released by your skin to help in UV radiation absorption. Your skin becomes darker as a result as your body producing more melanin in response to UV radiation from the sun or a tanning bed.

However, it is not easy to protect your face from sun tan, and it does not happen quickly. The best way to decrease a sun tan is to protect your skin by avoiding direct interaction with the sun rays. Always wear a cap, hold an umbrella, and use sun protective creams when going outside.

2. Sun Protection Creams:

Many of us saw the word “SPF” with some numbers, on sunburn creams but over a third of Pakistani’s don’t know the meaning of this word. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It describes how much UVB rays the sunscreen can block. The number indicates how much faster your skin will burn than if you don’t use sun protection.

Like for e.g: In the case of Rivaj SPF60 whitening and vanishing sunblock, it means that SPF60 will prevent your skin from burning for 60 times longer, in comparison to using no sunscreen.

Although there are many popular brands that are offering sunblock creams. Through which you can protect your face from sun tan. But, we always want to recommend you the best. So you should always buy sunblock cream from these top 3 brands:
