Zebra tan: 3 ways to even out skin tone if you have burnt parts of your body

It is very easy to tan in the summer. But doing it correctly, more or less safely, and at the same time getting a perfectly even tan is almost unattainable. That’s why many of us have to put up with a tan t-shirt. And be ashamed of how much the skin tone of the face, arms and legs differs during the summer months.

If you are also “lucky” to become the owner of a striped tan, do not rush to try to “erase” the golden complexion. And that’s exactly what is one of the most popular tips on the Internet: start using scrubs, peels and whitening creams daily so that the top layer of the skin is quickly updated.

Let’s be honest: fixing the situation on your own is quite difficult. But obtaining a more or less uniform shade is quite possible. Try these methods!

The most budgetary, time-tested way is to sunbathe, throwing clothes or a towel over the darkest areas of the skin. Admittedly, in the case of a “t-shirt” tan, this technique is not well justified. But if you need to enhance your leg tan or get rid of light spots in your bustier, you’ll be fine!

The next time you hit the beach, apply sunscreen with a high SPF (50+) to the darker areas of your skin and a tan booster to the lighter areas.

It is important to remember that cosmetic tan activators must also contain UV filters. And the higher, the better.

But this method simply claims to be an almost ideal solution to the problem! An instant tan will be a salvation for charred brides who worry about future wedding photos, for “white legs”, as well as for lovers of open tops who managed to tan in strappy swimsuits.

The essence of the instant tan technique is to apply a special cosmetic composition based on cane sugar and caring components to the skin. The master selects the optimal shade of the lotion – and, if desired, treats only certain areas of the body.

The lotion that provides dark skin does not affect pigmentation in any way and only penetrates the stratum corneum of the skin. After 10-14 days – and if you like scrubs, a pool and a washcloth, then even sooner – the desired shade will come off. The procedure will have to be repeated again!
