Vitamin C good for tanned skin
It has been suggested by the experts that in order to get glowing skin after sun tan, one should make use of milk mask and strawberries in addition to oral medication of vitamin C and anti-oxidants. Capital-based dermatologist Kiran Lohia says that it is better to avoid stepping out in the sun between 10 am and 4 pm and if it is necessary to go out, exposed body parts should be thoroughly covered.
According to Lohia, "Avoid going out during that time as the sun is at its strongest. Stay indoors if you can to protect yourself from the elements. Wear a hat when you go outside. The hat will protect your face from the heavy sun". She added that it will also help protect face from harmful rays of the sun. In addition to that one should wear sunscreen that offers both UVB and UVA protection.
The expert also said that UVB block helps protect against tanning and skin cancer and UVA block protects against photoageing and pigmentation. She said that one should choose a sunscreen that is at least SPF 30 and comes with PA ++ protection for broad spectrum coverage. She added that sun rays can enter windows, and be present even when the weather is cloudy or it's raining, so one needs protection in any case.
The tanning could also be removed by using bleaching ointments and cream lotions and these products could be purchased from any chemist shop. Many other procedures can be helpful such as treatments involving regular sittings.
