Hey friends! How are you? 🤗
I've heard that lemon is an excellent way to get rid of a tan. However, can it also lighten your skin? even if it's naturally sort of dark? Because, whenever people say "lemon lightens your skin" I get confused thinking whether it helps get rid your tan or does it just lighten the colour of your skin no matter what your skin colour is or whether you have a tan or not. So what exactly does lemon do to your skin? 😕
I'm actually VERY pale but in the last few years or so I always went out in the sun and didn't wear much sunscreen which caused me to get a tan. I have a tan all over my body and face and it's not too dark...its like a medium brown or close to it. I'm not saying that tans aren't beautiful but I'd love to get rid of it. I just want my fair skin back and QUICK! 😳 Will I ever get my natural skin colour back? Should I use lemon or something? How long would it take for me to get my natural fair skin back? and how many times should I use your method? Let me know! Thank you soooo much! 😛
Love,
Shikha 😉

hey nimbu added with a ting of haldi works..also u can apply multani miiti, its a special kind of miitii applied on skin for better effect.
But i dnt think that tan goes completely..so its better to take precautions b4 hand than to worry later.
So for this summer i had bought few full sleeves clothes for me from shoppers stop, to escape tanning

I usually keep my tan, do everything to get a nice one. but for those of you who want to get rid of it here are a few tips:
- Fill your bathtub with water and then cut a few lemons in rings and then put it in the bath tup and lie in it! (I guess there are other methods to use lemon on your skin but this is a really good one)
- Exfoliate!
- And from now on use a high protection sun cream there are like upto 50 out there! And try and keep out of the sun.
These are the natural ways that I know of, hope it helped.
