How To Prevent Yourself from Getting Tanned?

Warm and breezy summer days are a welcome change after bearing months of  cold and chilly weather! However, one cannot deny that this season  comes with its own set of problems, making us constantly worry about how  to remove skin tan. Sun tan removal is a major summer concern. Before  we get to effective sun tan removal remedies, here’s what you should  know about tanning.

How Does Tanning Occur? When UV rays penetrate our skin, the production of melanin (the  chemical responsible for pigmentation) is triggered. This happens  because your skin is trying to protect itself from burning after sun  exposure. The more you expose your body to the UV rays, the darker your  tanning will be.
