How to Remove Sun Tan Naturally at Home
Restore your glow using effective kitchen remedies
Sun-kissed skin might sound dreamy — but sun tanning often leads to uneven skin tone, dullness, and pigmentation. Excess UV exposure increases melanin, causing that darkened look. Thankfully, you can reverse it with easy, natural ingredients.
☀️ What is Sun Tan and Why Does it Happen?
Sun tan is your skin's natural defense against harmful UV rays. When exposed, your skin increases melanin production, leading to darkened patches, especially on your face, neck, arms, and feet.
