If you want to get rid of your tan or make it a few shades lighter, here are a few ways to fade your tan fast:

• Shower and exfoliate — a lot.

• Take long baths (with some buttermilk in the water) to soak your tan off more quickly.

• Dilute a cup of yogurt with water and rub it into your skin, and then rinse it off.

• Soak a cotton ball in lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide and sweep it over the areas you want to lighten.
