Why can't you get your tan back? It must be because you didn't do these things! The last trick is the most important!

In the hot summer, more and more fairies like to wear hot pants, short sleeves and short skirts, which are cool and beautiful. But we also have to face the problems that come with it: more skin will be exposed to the sun, and inadequate protection will lead to tanning. Some people are particularly sensitive to light, and they will get tanned even when sitting indoors through the glass window.

Under the public aesthetic of "white skin can hide a thousand flaws", people still want to have fair skin. Tanned skin will undoubtedly affect our appearance, and even cause a series of skin problems such as spots on the skin. Some people find it difficult to get white again after being tanned. The most fundamental reason is that they did not take remedial measures after being tanned, or did not take proper care. If you want to restore fair and transparent skin, you need continuous care and sun protection!

How long does it take for the skin to recover from a tan? Medical research shows that the skin's metabolic cycle is 28 days. The so-called skin metabolic cycle refers to the process by which skin cells are generated by the division of basal cells, and then gradually push up the surface layer, while the cells on the surface of the skin gradually age and become a new stratum corneum, and the original stratum corneum falls off, completing a metabolism, and this process takes at least 28 days to complete.

Therefore, after the skin is tanned, the tanned epidermal cells cannot recover, but need to keratinize and then fall off and be replaced by new skin cells, so that the skin will gradually return to its original state.

Of course, the recovery time is different for everyone. The skin's ability to absorb ultraviolet rays is different from its ability to reduce melanin. On the one hand, it depends on the degree of tanning, and on the other hand, it is also related to the individual's body constitution and maintenance. If the degree of tanning is very light, it can usually be recovered in two to three months as long as you pay more attention to daily skin care, such as applying sunscreen, moisturizing lotion, etc. If the tanning is serious, it will take six months or a year to recover.

How to get white again after tanning

1. Repair

Daily basic maintenance should not be neglected. Clean your face thoroughly every day (including makeup removal and face washing). Exfoliate and apply a facial mask once a week. Don't underestimate the power of exfoliation and facial mask! It can accelerate the metabolism of the skin and make you whiter quickly.

The period just after getting tanned is the most active stage of melanin. Applying some whitening skin care products on your face as soon as possible can effectively inhibit the accumulation of melanin in the body. After proper inhibition, the melanin will be lost and will not be deposited on the face.

2. Sleep

The skin will repair itself at night, so sleep at night is very important. If we always stay up late, it will not only fail to help the skin get tanned, but will also increase the damage, making our skin darker!

3. Diet therapy

Eat more foods containing vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene and drink plenty of water to speed up the body's metabolism and blood circulation. This is not only beneficial to your health, but also can beautify your skin and make you white again quickly.

4. Rational use of milk

When we get tanned outdoors due to excessive ultraviolet rays, taking a bath with milk can restore the original color of the skin and make it more tender. When taking a bath, you can pour one or two bags of pure milk into the bathtub, and then soak your body in the milk water, especially the tanned legs, arms and other parts. At this time, the nutrients in the milk will react with the melanin in the skin and eliminate it, so that the skin will return to whiteness and smoothness.

5. Pay attention to sun protection

Remember to apply sunscreen lotion and sunscreen 15 minutes before going out, and remember to bring them with you. Be sure to reapply them after one to two hours outdoors. To avoid skin irritation again, what you need to do after your skin is tanned is to control the activity of melanin and lock the activeness of the skin. You can apply a facial mask, a body mask, or aloe vera gel, which can effectively control the skin, cool it down in a short time, and also have a moisturizing effect. Don't think you don't need sunscreen when you sit indoors! Floors, walls, and glass all reflect ultraviolet rays.

6. The ultimate trick

Go out as little as possible
