Yes, tan removal is possible. Some ways to remove tan include using sunscreen, exfoliating regularly, using skin-lightening creams containing ingredients like hydroquinone or kojic acid, and undergoing chemical peels or laser treatments. A dermatologist can help you in removing tan completely by recommending appropriate treatments such as prescription-strength skin-lightening creams or procedures like chemical peels or laser therapy.
