How Can I Get Rid Of A Tan?!?

Question

I'm naturally dark skinned and whenever I go out of the house my tan gets darker. I think it looks ugly and I really want it to go away. Any advice?

Answer 1

first off, congrats. i could lay in the sun for weeks and never once get a tan. i'm sorry that you don't like it, but i bet since it's natural, it looks great on you. instead of trying to get rid of your tan, try to find ways to complemint it. find some colors that look really nice with your skin, and forget about makeup. in my experiance, dark skinned people don't get as many pimples as lighter folks, so if that's true for you, go light on your makeup.
consider only wearing mascara and lip gloss, see how it looks. depending on your hair type, it might look nice a really dark color ( unless it already is dark) and maybe you could let it get long. then try some loose buns or ponytails. don't try to change your skin, that rarely turns out ok. instead why don't you try to find some ways to naturally complement it.
good luck, and remember, don't do anything drastic. ( we wouldn't want you looking like michael jackson :)

Answer 2

Stay out of the sun as much as possible. If you have to go out, wear a hat and sunscreen.

Answer 3

aside from going crazy and having cosmetic bleaching (micheal jackson!! AAAAGH!), there's nothing you can do. if it's getting you down, just wear long-sleeved shirts and alot of makeup for a few weeks until it fades.
