I have pale skin before ,but got a farmer tan from too much in the sun , how do i get rid of it? i got tan lines in my arms and legs

Wait: It will take some time, but the tan will fade on it's own. Avoid using bleaching creams but use sunscreen instead to prevent further darkening from sun exposure.

Time will heal.: If your skin is irritated from the burn, topical aloe vera gel can help your symptoms. Otherwise take tincture of time, and use sunblock to avoid sun damage in the future.
