Please read this if you just read this crap of an article. The skin’s outer layer, epidermis, consists of melanocytes. Melanocytes produce melanin which produces the pigment you see as a “tan” in your skin. Ultraviolet exposure stimulates the formation of melanin, hence you look more tan. Logically, if you want to reduce your tan avoid the sun. Also, it was recommended to rub lemon on your skin, but not use acids? Lemons have CITRIC ACID! Citric acid is useful for removing the top layer of the epidermis, aka a “keratolytic” agent. Furthermore, the acidity of citric acid will irritate your skin and make it inflamed and red. Just lovely…red, tanned skin that’s now burning from the acid you placed on it.
