I went for a NCC camp for 10 days. The camp was really hard n we used to stay in Sun working hard for nearly 6 to 7 hours. I have tanned really bad. Now my face becomes oily as soon as I go out in Sun. I became approx 3 to 4 shades darker. I want my skin texture back. Should I go through a chemical peel? Give me opinions.
