Will using acne medication that kills the top layer of skin affect your skin trying to get a tan my skin is really light?

it might because when u get tan it is only a few layers deep in your skin so when u kill the top layer it will make your tan lighter and if u keep doing it u will lose all your tan The top layers of our skin are dead already. Only the very bottom layer of the epidermis is alive, but it is covered by many layers of dead skin. If you are on an acne medication, chances are your skin is in fact thinned out a bit, making it more sensitive to sun exposure. What medication are you referring to?

How do you get rid of a tan fast?

The fastest way to handle the tan in a diminishing way is to exfoliate the skin once a day. That will get the tanned layers of skin shed from the body, and display the nice untanned layers. To much exfoliation is and issue however once a day should provide the results you require. The best exfoliator for tanning is Baiden Mitten. You can get one especially for tan removing on Amazon. There is no way of exfoliating deeper without hurting your skin. It is like a microdermabrasion. It will remove all of the spray tan and most of the sun/beds tan in one go.

The skin cells that you have when you get the tan regenerate to new ones, so obviously the new skin cells will be not tanned and the dead tanned skin comes away. This happens over a period of time, however long it takes your skin cells to regenerate over 2 weeks etc so you would keep your tan for atleast 2 weeks.why did you want a tan in the first place. wow.

Why cant you get a tan on your palms?

Skin contains the pigment melanin which is activated by exposure to light. The palms of your hands and the soles of your feet have much thicker layers of skin due to their regular contact and friction with other objects (the ground, tools, etc). Melanocytes exist in the dermal layers of your palms and soles, but are buried beneath the more callous layers and are rarely directed at the sun. You could in theory try to tan your hands but the results would be pretty minimal compared to the rest of your body.
