HI... I was born with a very fair skin.but due to sun tanning my skin color turned dark brown.is it possible to get back my original born skin color? What are the home techniques to bring back my color?how long it will take?

I don't understand your question really. I am fair skinned but tan dark and through the winter am fair again. I don't use anything for my normal fair skin.

I would say wait.

Sun tans don't last forever.

Sometimes tanning can cause permanent pigmentation. It's happened to me!

A simple technique you could try is orange peel powder. Use it as a facial scrub twice a day. You could possibly see results within the next couple of weeks.

Also, remember to use sunblock to protect the skin. It will not stop you from getting dark but it will help.

Getting a sun tan is due to how much pigment has come to protect your skin during a hot day, eventually it will go away, things like satying in the shade could help.

There are studies that show Pomegranate Extract taken as an oral suplement reversed sun induced hyper pigmentation. I have been doing my own research on this and this one of the science web sites that talks about it.

Use some tumeric powder with a bit of lemon to get rid of tans. It works.

Hey Maharani.

A company called hesh sell it. But I make mine at home. I leave the orange peel to dry in the sun/near the window. When it is crisp dry, I grind it into powder. Then store in a jar. :)
