Miami kills my feet and hands. Everytime I go, despite of how much sunblock I wear, my feet and hands get SO tanned. They are fine until I am at the beach, once I get out of the water, I can actually see my skin turning red and then dark. I never get sunburnt alhumdulillah but the tan does not go away! Does anyone know of any good remedies for it?
Re: Tanned feet and hands
Time. I guess with time you'll get the original color back. A few days...
Re: Tanned feet and hands
yeah man florida turns you brown no matter what you do... I used to keep sunlock in my bag all the time but it didn't quite work. I love midwest, you don't have to worry about getting tanned and having patched feet...lolz
Re: Tanned feet and hands
apply milk and lemon to ure feet helps to get rif of the tan, its really messy tho:bummer:
Re: Tanned feet and hands
It's been 7 months and the color is still the same :(
Re: Tanned feet and hands
Shay i remember reading in one of your threads that rubbing tomato helps get rid of tan at any body part....
that didn't work on your feet and hands?
it was in your Zubaida tariq something thread:
For tan:
Rubbing a piece of tomato for 5 mins removes tan from any part of the body. This by the way, I have tried myself and it works like magic.

Re: Tanned feet and hands
it worked great for tan on my face.. almost like a miracle but not on my feet or hands :(
Re: Tanned feet and hands
wear gloves and shoes :)
Re: Tanned feet and hands
with me it fades after summer ends and fall sets in.
But like you even if I put lots of sunblock, my feel get tanned especially when I wear sandals and people can clearly see the design of my shoes on my feet, the light part and then the tanned part:D
Using sunblock is the most important thing.
Re: Tanned feet and hands

Re: Tanned feet and hands
if you want to go to the beach...wear sunblock....and a hat...
the best way to avoid tanning is to keep your outdoor activities before noon....and after 5pm............the worst tanning occurs from 12 noon-3pm..(5pm if its summer time)
Re: Tanned feet and hands
man i tan soo quickly, just walking around campus :S
its only april and i already have tanned quite a bit, including a very nice "hijab tan" on my face. agh
i think im going to try that tomato thing since so many have said it works
Re: Tanned feet and hands
Shay i have the same problem. I got mine from a holiday in Turkey over a year ago. I've tried the lemon thing and it has not worked, I do not know what more to do either. I hate wearing short sleeved tops now because of it and really don't want to go down the bleaching routine. Altho I'm sure when people look at my arms they must think I've bleached my face when that is most definatly not the case.
And with summer around the corner I really don't want to be full sleeved tops. If u find a cure let me kno, and I'll do likewise too.
Re: Tanned feet and hands
i keep a jacket and gloves in the car with me...even though my car is tinted...living in texas is not easy....since i get blisters due to the heat...i avoid the hours b/w noon-5 ish....i have tried the tomatoes..the lemon...the milk..rosewater...god knows what....the scrubs...etc...but in the end.......the best cure is precaution/prevention...
Re: Tanned feet and hands
just tan everywhere else too so then you won't look so patchy :P
Re: Tanned feet and hands
Lemon really does wonders... i dont have that tanning problem.....
i applied lemon on my feet like for 10 days.... wat i used to do was cut lemon in half.... and rub it on my feet constantly for 10 min. ( 10 min. each foot)
yessss itz a bit hectic but believe me the result was amazing... i dont like my feet but after those ten days... jootay pehannay ka maza anay lag gaya hehe
i'm thinking of starting that again.... but my friends said dont directly apply lemon on face as it'll damage ur skin... anyhow i've heard abt that lemon, rosewater n glycerine.. it does wonders
moreover... REGULARITY in anything is the key to success :)
Re: Tanned feet and hands
really, nothing works.
i have tried everything.
at the most, all these things will make ur feet really soft and well moisturized but the colour stays the same.
i have really dark knuckles and joints, kafi kuch try kiya without any luck.
Re: Tanned feet and hands
embrace the tan.
Re: Tanned feet and hands
I let my tan wear out by time, but i have a friend who uses Gram flour(besan) and ubtan. She says it works for her.
