      Hi Salma ,

      rub your nck with tomato / potato every day before bath. And you can also apply sodium bicarbonate (kitchen soda powder) once a week or 10 days , based on your suitability. this will help you in removing the dark patches from neck , under arms, and also knees.

      Hi Priya ,

      The tanning will take some time to come down … rubbing tomato pulp and potato pulp on tanned areas on alternate day will give you a good glowing skin and will resolve the tanning within a month …

      Hi Anindita ,

      Have you tried any home remedies like rubbing grated potato and tomatoes individually on these patches ? we had tried using these , and most of our clients reallly benefitted. but you need to follow it relegiously every day for atleast 1 month to see the effect . this is most natural and permanent way of getting rid of tan .

      Hi Deep ,

      instead of the creams , you should apply grated potato and cucumber to your arms every morning . trust me , in 1 month , all the tan will vanish and you will have fair arms. Just make sure that you keep your arms covered if you step out of the house , or wear full sleeves .

      Hi Neha ,

      the best remedies for removing suntan are mentioned above in the article . but i have personally seen that rubbing baking soda (khane wala soda) and add 1 spoon sugar and 1 spoon salt , and rub this on your arms , this really helps in geting rid of the intial , dark tan quickly .. then you can alternate it with grated potato and cucumber mix . within 2 months , your arms will get normal and beautiful again .
