Can You Reverse Sun-Tanned Skin to Its Original Color?
After the skin is tanned by ultraviolet radiation, it can become fair again in a subsequent period by paying attention to sun protection measures, properly eating foods rich in vitamins C and E, and so on. After the skin is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, the internal cells of the skin will be damaged and necrotic, and new skin cells will replace them later, allowing the skin tone to gradually change from dark to fair.
1. For people with thinner stratum corneum, it generally takes about a week to recover. For those with thicker stratum corneum, the recovery time after tanning is slower, and it may take up to a month to recover.
2. The recovery time after tanning also depends on the degree of tanning and whether there is sunburn. If there is sunburn, it needs to be treated first, which will slow down the recovery time. It is recommended to take sun protection measures early to avoid sunburn.
3. After tanning, you can appropriately take foods rich in vitamin E and vitamin C. Avoid eating foods containing melanin, such as black rice, black beans, and black sesame. You can apply moisturizing lotion or aloe vera gel for hydration.
