Best Answer

A tan is produced by melatonin. The sun goes through the skin and hits the melatonin. The more sunlight the sun gets the more melatonin is produced, which makes the skinner more tan. Melatonin wares away though if it is not being affected by the sun. Thus during the winter when there is less sun, the skin color becomes lighter and less tanned.

The best way is to wither use a hand srubbing glove with soup or you can buy these tan removers which have a more exfoliating suntance. There are some more cheaper ways to get tan off, try looking up in Google how to make your own tan remover cause I bought this homemade one and it was so good.!!
