I need help with getting rid of tan, please help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strange question: Your skin tans when UVA and UVB wavelengths of light react with melanin released from basal melanocytes in the epidermis. A chemical reaction and energy release involving melanin results in darkening of the skin pigmentation. The only thing that is going to result in resolution of a tan is tincture of time. You just have to wait. Next time stay out of the sun or wear sun block.
