Skin tan from swimming
I have been swimming since December 2015 and now apart from my short's area the whole body has tanned and my skin color which was white has now turned pale.
Have used natural broad-spectrum spf15 sun screen but still my body got tanned
Any thing to apply before and after swimming . I prefer natural ones coz they don't have the harmful skin damage ingredients in them.
Plz help

Thanks for the query.
Outdoor activities make our skin tan. The only option is to wear protective full sleeves clothing, cap or a hat, to carry an umbrella and sunglasses.
Skin already tanned can be treated with depigmenting creams.
A good skin care regimen comprises 4 steps - cleansing, toning, moisturizing and sunblock.
Based on your skin type, a dermatologist will recommend you appropriate products.
Hope it helps you
