• The mixing ratio does not need to be too precise. Just make the same proportions of lemon juice and aloe vera juice, rub into your skin and rinse it off after 20-30 minutes.
• Take extra care to avoid the sun when applying a mixture that contains lemon juice on your skin, as lemons can make the skin extremely sensitive to UV rays.

Combine buttermilk (the remaining milk liquid left after butter production) and tomato juice. Tomatoes are natural bleaches, and the effect of milk is well known. You can mix 2 servings of buttermilk and 1 part tomato juice, dip a cotton ball in the mixture and apply on a tanned area. Wash off after 30 minutes.

Treat tanning products with baby oil. Especially with sprays that brown skin, baby oil is very effective in removing the outer layer of color. The name of this method is still exfoliation (and the purpose here is to remove skin cells), so you need to take a shower and exfoliate after leaving the oil on your skin for 30-40 minutes. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Prevent skin from getting darker

1. 

   Apply sunscreen. This is not too much if you are trying to whiten your skin as much as possible! Sunscreen SPF 30 is the standard recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology, but a cream with a higher index does not hurt.
   • We often fail to notice when we happen to be out in the sun in everyday activities. Remember to apply cream every day if you are looking for ways to avoid darkening your skin. The sun on your skin when you go to your mail box to check your mail is the same as the sun on the beach when you go for a walk.

2. 

   
   
   Shields skin, even on cloudy days. Long sleeves may not be very comfortable to wear in hot weather, but you should cover your skin as tightly as possible when outdoors. The clouds didn't help much to reduce the sun's influence either; only blocks about 20% of UV rays.
   • And if you think you're safe to ski, think again: snow actually reflects 80 percent of the UV rays and increases exposure. So if for some reason you intend to ski barefoot… please don't!

3. 

   
   
   Use an umbrella. This action may seem a bit silly at first, but this is a surefire way to block out the sun when leaving the house. Consider buying a handheld umbrella if you want a little more elegant style.
   • Do not trust too many beach umbrellas. Perhaps after learning that snow is able to reflect UV rays, you will guess that sand too. Sand's reflectivity isn't as bad as snow - just 17 percent - but it's still enough for the sun to leave its trail.

4. 

   
   
   Indoor. It is easy to understand that you will keep your whiteest skin while indoors. However, seclusion is not an option for everyone, and it is not necessary if you follow the steps above.
   • Our bodies need vitamin D, and the standard for vitamin D (600 IU for people aged 1-70) is set with the assumption that the person is regularly receiving sunlight. Fatty fish, beef liver, eggs, cheese and mushrooms also provide a portion of vitamin D, and some types of milk are also fortified with vitamin D.

Method 3 of 3: Exfoliate to whiten tanned skin

1. 

   
   
   Stop here if you get sunburned. It's easy to be tempted to take extreme measures to treat sun damage from sunburn, but the methods in this article are only suitable for tanned skin. Exfoliating when the skin is sunburned is ineffective and very painful.
   • Apply aloe vera to soothe pain and hydrate the skin.
   • Review this guide when the sunburn on your skin has resolved or has gone away.

2. 

   
   
   Start with the right exfoliating product. You should not be aggressive with the skin, but the intention here is to rapidly accelerate the process of eliminating skin cells by the body. You need a good product to exfoliate.
   • Exfoliating products suitable for this purpose will contain either retinoids or alpha hydroxyl acids. These special ingredients help to speed up cell turnover and remove pigmentation.

3. 

   Use loofah fiber, not use cotton bath. The loofah is the dry core of the gourd, while the bath cotton is a synthetic material designed to gently scrub and help the soap to foam as much as possible. This task shouldn't be so light-hearted - we need more rough loofahs.

4. 

   Moisten tanned skin. Bathe and dry skin, or use a wet towel to wipe skin.

5. 

   Apply an exfoliating cream to the loofah and massage your skin in circular motions. The loofah and exfoliating creams are rough, so don't be too aggressive. Just rub the skin in small circular motions and take a shower with cool water. Done every day. advertisement
