How can I get rid of Sun Tan on my skin and prevent it ?

It is hard to get rid of a Sun-tan, it will fade naturally after few weeks. Exfoliate your skin with a soft dry brush or a dry towel before you shower, this removes the dead skin on the surface. 

Stay out of the sun between 10:00am to 4:00pm when the sun is stronger, if you have to go out, wear sunscreen on all exposed body parts and wear a hat and sunglasses to protect your face. Don't forget to apply sunscreen on the back of your hands.
