Top homemade tips to get rid of sun tan naturally

During summer season, your skin easily gets tanned. Hence, you must take the necessary preventive measures to keep away from sun tan and skin discoloration. Its a known fact that the sun consists of harmful UV rays that leads to skin tanning. The skin when exposed to the scorching heat of the sun gets enveloped with the carbon content and thus appears darker than usual.

Tanning is the process of the skin to prevent it from damage. This process is by the melanin that keeps the colour of the skin. People with more melanin are dark in complexion and fair people have less melanin. When the rays of the sun damage the unprotected skin, it makes more melanin which changes the colour of the skin. People with dark skin turn darker brown in the sun and light colour people turn red or even get burns from the sun. Some people get uneven patches of colour and freckles by exposure to the sun. This leads to dry skin with wrinkles and can also cause skin cancer.
