Thinking of wearing a full hands blouse on a sari or a kurti to that special occasion that you have been waiting to attend and make yourself appear special, because of Tan ruling your body? Just wait for a while and try these measures of getting rid of that Tan;

As I mentioned earlier (left sidebar) there are three ways to do this. First, you can avoid the sun when it's doing its worst – between 10am and 4pm. Secondly, you can wear tight knit, sun- protective clothing, as well as a hat and sunglasses. Lastly, you can wear sunscreen. As a light-skinned fellow, I only need around 10 minutes of sun daily to get my vitamin D requirements, and then I employ one or all of these safety measures to keep from burning (I wish I could tan).

To get rid of a tan, you need dead skin cells to slough (shed) more quickly, and basically this is what exfoliating is. You can use a loofah or exfoliating brush before or during a shower to rub away dead skin cells. Use exfoliating, granular/abrasive cleansers to help take away the dead layers of skin. In a sense, being thorough with your towel after bathing is exfoliating. If you want to get rid of tan lines, focus on the lines to blend sooner. Whether you have a fake tan or a legit beach tan, exfoliating will speed up how fast you get rid of it.

Use affective sun screen lotions, that have AHA (alpha-hydroxy acids) or BHA (beta-hydroxy acids), which, again, speed up the rate at which dead skin cells are shed. One thing to be mindful of is that exfoliating can leave skin dry and brittle, especially if you are using more than one method to exfoliate. Purchasing one that is designed for dry skin can help prevent this. Whichever product you choose, observe your skin's reaction, as people tend to have different reactions to different products depending on skin type and health.

Before going for a shower, slice the lemon in half, rub the areas that you want to become paler for 1-2 minutes, and then finish your shower as you normally would. The citric acid in the lemon helps to break down partially dead skin cells, revealing your lighter side beneath. It may take a week of treatments, but this method has the benefit of leaving skin soft and lemony fresh. It is important to rinse the lemon off before going outside, unless you want to deepen that tan.

If you cover up, use sunscreen, and avoid the sun from 10am to 4pm, your tan will fade and your tone will be back to "normal" in a matter of months. A sunless tan will fade in as little as a week. Your skin, or integumentary system, is the largest organ in the human body, and you should treat it kindly. Avoid harsh chemicals and easy solutions. If time doesn't fade your tan, visit the doctor, as this could be a sign of Addison's disease, severe skin damage, or a dermatological disorder.

At least here after follow the mantra of ‘prevention is better than cure’…
