Tips to get rid of a tan at home 

Aloe vera gel is an excellent remedy for taking care of dark tans. It will lighten the skin in as little as a week, if applied everyday to the affected area. However, aloe has the property of making your skin photosynthetic and can darken it is you go out in the sun without sunscreen lotion.


This makes it important to remember to use sunscreen every time you go out. A cream with equal parts of milk powder, lemon juice, honey and almond oil can be applied and left on for 20 minutes. This will help lighten your tan.


You can store this for about a week and use it thrice daily.

Apply a paste made with turmeric powder and lime juice thrice a week. This will lighten the skin colour considerably. Make a juice of one raw potato and apply this to lighten tans. Soak almonds overnight and grind them into a fine paste the next morning. To this, add equal quantities of milk cream and apply to your hands. Another paste you can make and apply is powdered oatmeal, yogurt, a few drops of lime and tomato juice. Wash this with cold water after half an hour. Keep in mind that all of these remedies will take at least a week to show positive results.
