With the sun right on the head, stepping out these days means covering yourself head to toe in comfortable clothes, applying sunscreen and carrying your essentials such as umbrella, scarf, and hat. Despite all these preparations, summer months could still give you a tan. Though tanning is a natural biological response, repeated exposure to the sun can distress the skin adversely.
Here are a few natural remedies that you can try to remove the tan instantly:
