Tan can occur anywhere on your body depending on the rate and intensity of exposure to sun. It is summer, and your chance to get a sun tan is more than other seasons.

If sun tan and skin care are the main factors that force you to keep a distance from your summer outdoor fun, then here are some effective and easy remedies. Try these tips and play in the sun without worrying about sun tan.
