Do you wish to wash off tanning, tan lines, or uneven skin colour? But the truth is, it's hard to reverse. The science behind a tan body is that your skin tries to protect itself from damage from the sun's damaging UV rays.
Your skin tends to release melanin (a chemical responsible for skin tanning or darkening) under your skin's surface to help it absorb UV radiation. The more exposure you have to UV rays, the more melanin your body releases, darkening your skin.
Home remedies circulated all over the internet claim to lighten the skin, but unfortunately, there's no research to support most of them. Hence, some may hurt your skin.
To avoid tanning, it's best to avoid getting in harm's way in the first place. Protection is better than cure; this will prevent unwanted tanning. Always wear sun-protective accessories like a hat, gloves, sleeves, beach gaiters, & sunscreen when stepping outside.
Sunscreens for Gym, Beach & Beyond
Everyone is talking about SPF 30, 40, or 50 today, but what about the texture? Gel-based mineral sunscreen is a popular choice amongst all skin types because of its unique cream cum lotion texture, which is typically lightweight and has a non-greasy or non-oily (literally) texture, which makes it a popular choice amongst oily and acne-prone skin too.
Another reason it's becoming popular is that it's more organic or natural because of its ingredients, such as white peonies, aloe vera, cranberries, and frangipani extracts, which help make skin smooth, soft & hydrated. It also makes excellent travel essential for outdoor activities such as swimming, beach, and shopping.
Good news for those who want a greener- cleaner approach to beauty - Lotus Organics+ top picks for broad-spectrum sunscreens for all your summer activities, minus all the chemical toxins:
Hydrating Gel Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 PA+++ is a prudent pick; its formula is less likely to leave white residue on the skin than traditional sunscreens that contain physical filters. The formula tends to be broken down into smaller particles, usually micronised, making it super comfortable to get deeply absorbed into the skin and impart additional benefits (hydration, anti-acne, dewy glow), to name just a few.
Swap your regular moisturiser with Lotus Organics+ Sheer Brightening Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++, which protects your skin from being goopy and thick. The best thing about this sunscreen is that it fights sunburn and premature ageing. Just smear this lovely potion all over your face, neck, ears, and hands—in short, all exposed areas. Its oil-control formulation suits it best for oily skin, keeping the greasiness at bay.
For a matte finish, opt for Lotus Organics+ Ultra Matte Mineral Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++, which absorbs faster than you think. Enriched with cranberries, it stabilises high-level protection. This tinted, lightweight moisturiser is a terrific summer catch that promises to protect your face for beautiful skin.

Consider all your sunscreen-related questions answered.
Q. How do I remove tan from the face immediately?
Warning! Don't toss your skin with skin-lightening products such as sun tan removal cream, tan removal pack, tan removal face wash, tan removal soap, etc., because the active ingredients can cause severe skin irritation, skin atrophy, and permanent dark spots or discolouration in the long run. Since it is impossible to escape the sun, the sane solution is to protect your skin with mineral sunscreens, which are less irritating and more vulnerable to the skin than chemical ones.
Q. Does sun tan go away?
Yes, tanning can fade away naturally in a month if you protect your skin from UV rays by regularly using the Sheer Brightening Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++, which is awarded as the best sun tan removal cream for the face, hands and body.
Q. Does tan removal work?
You cannot remove a tan overnight or just with a click! However, regular sunscreen usage can help fade tan lines and make them less prominent and noticeable. Follow a natural face pack regime at least three times a week.
Q. How do I remove tan from the face immediately?
There is no treatment or remedy to immediately or overnight remove the tan. The best way to remove tan is to apply sunscreen at least 2-3 times to keep your skin well-protected, nourished and hydrated.
Q. Does skin care remove tan?
With the right skincare approach, you can reduce sun tan by wearing Hydrating Gel Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 PA+++ (reapplying every 2-3 hours) to prevent UV rays from penetrating the skin. Exfoliating once or twice a week for glowing skin.
Q. How do you get rid of a tan fast?
It can take days or weeks for your tan to fade (depending on different skin types). Regularly use mineral sunscreens, which offer a high level of broad-spectrum protection, and feel like you have nothing on your face.
