Has anyone here managed to reverse a long term tan

[Venus]

Im trying to get back to the skintone i was when i was younger but i havent seen anyone post actual results

Literally the only person that has posted actual results is that one guy on org but idk he’s vague and gatekeep-y about it

He says he used kojic acid soap for it but that soap does not work thattt well jfl

I’ve been using hq 4% but still i’d like to see someone thats gotten results

Probably cause the amount of time you’re outside shirtless is far less than the amount of time you’re out with a shirt on

Make sure to use sunscreens and hats to avoid tanning your face (more than your body) when you’re out

yeah bro a long-term tan can fade, but it depends whether you're actually dealing with UV tanning or hyperpigmentation. if you keep getting cooked by UV you're basically resetting the process anyway, so sunscreen is mandatory.


HQ 4% is way more serious than kojic soap, but don't spam it thinking more = faster. Irritation can make pigmentation even more annoying, and prolonged HQ use can cause ochronosis.


Also don't expect a crazy before/after in 2 weeks. Pigment takes time to fade, especially if it's been there for years.


Marked as solution.

Yeahh i dont go out and stay up during the night so i dont think constant uv exposure is an issue rn

As for hq im only using it on my face and started slowly, I’ll cycle it 3 months on 2 months off

My main issue is what to do about my arms hands and feet. The part where my short sleeves cut off and the underside of my arms are a completely different color from the exposed parts and it looks so weird

thats normal if you see the sun get better sun cream and wear either long sleeves or sleeveless
