Getting Rid of a Tan

I went to the beach recently, and in my excitement to get into the water, I forgot to reapply sunscreen. Now I have a tan, and it looks horrible. I can cover up the tan on my body until it fades, but not on my face. I'm super-self conscious about it right now; I tan pretty easily and I'm a couple shades darker than my usual skin tone right now. Not

Buttermilk applied at night and washed off in the morning is an old remedy for getting rid of a tan.

Thank you! Do you know if it works?

I've used it and had slow but steady results, without blotching.

In the meantime, you could just wear a lot more makeup, with a thicker layer of zinc-oxide-based sunscreen underneath. The sunblock makes you look paler, and cuts your fade time.

If it's not red, I recommend exfoliating. Gets the dead skin off and underneath is usually lighter.
