Sun exposure is good, as it not only provides vitamin D but also boosts the immune system, promotes relaxation, improves mood, helps in wound healing, and more. However, prolonged sun exposure has certain drawbacks, such as suntan, sunburn, premature ageing, and skin cancers.
When exposed to the sun, skin produces melanin, a natural substance that gives colour to the skin, hair, and eyes and protects them from UV rays. When the body is overexposed to the sun, it increases the production of melanin to respond to sun exposure, resulting in sun tan, uneven skin tone, and dark spots.
Tanned skin is a sign of sun damage and increases the chances of developing skin cancer. So, de-tanning the skin is an important step in your daily skincare routine. There are a few products in the marketplace that help to detain the skin.
Let's see how to de-tan the skin with a skincare routine and a few home remedies.
