Q: Products or techniques to prevent further tanning

(Posted in womens chat as I 'think' women are more aware on skin care)

I have a tanning problem. I get tanned easily and it does not go away at all. So I have a yellow bumb and brown arms.

Does anyone know any products or/and special techniques that can help prevent further tanning? Any creams that prevent the skin from getting tanned?

Does anyone know any products or/and special techniques that can help lighten your skin back to its orginal colour, or even decrease the tan?

I am an Indian male. My natural skin colour is a light yellow, but my easy tan has led my arms to become brown. I hate the imbalance of colours, and I would not want to tan myself out to even it all as it is not healthy and I prefer light yellow to brown personally lol. I would rather try to reduce my tan as much as possible.

Does anyone know any medically proven products? Or good products? That have helped lighten asian skin or any skin? Please inform me with any knowledge and of products that work and help lighten the skin back to its original colour, or to get it light as much as possbile. There are some products out that claim to help lighten skin. Does anyone know one that works? Thanks.

I don't believe they make products specifically to lighten tans, however, there is a product by Acne Free sold at drugstores and walmarts and things like that on the face wash aisle that is made to reduce the appearance of scars left by acne. The lotion sold with the pack is a skin lightener, and I can tell you from experience that it works. I don't think one bottle of it would last very long if you used it on your entire body, but you could I guess. It's of course a gradual process though.

Also, as much as you don't want to be darker, you may want to use a self tanner lotion on your butt to help make it closer to the color of the rest of your body, since this is the problem. Then you could begin to try the skin lightening lotion all over to lighten your skin evenly. I'm sorry that there isn't any quick fix or easy solution to your problem. If all else fails, you could just load up on sunblock every time you head outside for any amount of time and wait a few months for it to fade on its own.

If someone is posting links to sites that sell acne products, I'm sorry but they must be removed.

Instead, just type out the name of the product. We all have google; I'm sure we can find the item ourselves.

I think that's a very dumb and unhealthy idea. Your skin is 100% naturally the color is is supposed to be.

You skin is the color it is supposed to be. Your body is "light yellow" because you clearly wear a shirt when you are in the sun. That is why your arms and face are brown. The smarter idea is to go tanning a little in the sun. Go outside without a shirt on.
