These won’t help with body tanning

Tanning is a common complaint. It usually takes anywhere between 2 weeks to 3 months for tan to lighten. Reducing sun exposure in recovery time is very important to remove tan. No creams will help if sun exposure is continued.

⏱️Time taken for tan to disappear depends on multiple factors such as
✔️Baseline skin colour
✔️Intensity of tan
✔️Continued sun exposure
✔️Underlying skin condition

Here is a simple routine to follow in order to hasten the proceeds of removing tan from body.

☀️Morning
✅body wash with gentle exfoliants
✅moisturiser with lactic acid
✅Sunscreen every 2 hours. A spray or lotion formulation is easier to apply on whole body.

🌃Night
Thick moisturiser every night: Venusia max, bioderma atoderm
A gentle exfoliant on alternate nights: glycolic acid 6%
You can use a retinol cream on alternate nights

🚨Important
strict sun protection: avoid mid day harsh sun
Full sleeves clothing especially if you ride a bike umbrella if you have to walk out in the sun

❌Avoid this : physical scrubs and detan creams
🚫Physical scrubs cause micro tears and irritate the skin more. This is totally counter productive
🚫Detan creams will bleach the hair and give illusion of lighter skin without having any beneficial impact on the skin. It can also irritate the skin.

Do consult your dermatologist for the best treatment for your skin type and concern.
