Unless you use a fake tanner, the only way to remove tan from your skin is to wait until it fades on its own. You can reduce the appearance of the tan and help it fade faster by using a body scrub to remove the dead skin cells and then moisturize with cocoa butter lotion, which helps new skin to grow. While you are doing this, it is important to keep your skin covered up and wear sunscreen to avoid tanning again.

Wear a broad brimmed sun hat as well.

Once your tan is gone, continue to maintain your complexion by a solid skin care routine that includes full body exfoliation and plenty of moisturizer. Cover up when you go out in the sun and be sure to wear sun screen, try to find some sunscreen that contains green tea or tea tree oil.

For a fair complexion and beautiful skin, it is also important to drink plenty of water and watch what you eat. Avoid foods that are sugary and avoid alcohol and soft drinks. Alcohol and skin care products with alcohol dry out the skin and cause wrinkles to appear. It also destroys the skins color, making it appear grey and faded.
