Skin tanning

My skin gets tanned very easily, even when I apply high spf sunscreen. I know that controlling tanning is hard because it is my skin's tendency to protect from sunrays. I want to know if there any effective methods for de-tanning my skin completely.

Hello there, skin becomes tanned because of something called melanin pigment which is produced naturally in the skin. you could take general measures like covering the skin, staying well hydrated etc. if the problem bothers you too much, visit a skin specialist (dermatologist) and he will be able to help you further. regards.
