Hello sir my hands and legs have got tanned, I was out under hot sun whole day doing holy wearing shorts and sleeveless, is this tan permanent or will it go. This has happened to me for the first time. I had waxed my legs and hands and dint apply moisturiser or sunscreen I guess it happened because of that. Will my tan be permanent? What is the treatment for this? Is there any product's to remove the dark tan?

Hi, it's important for you to protect your skin from sunlight if you have dark skin for holi you should cover yourself with good high concentration zinc sunscreen and one or dries cover with oil before going for holi. You can now make sure of covering your skin with adequate sunscreen. You can try lotion containing natural lightening agents and also there are professional treatments for the same to get better results.
