Tanning is a popular way to get a golden glow, but it can also lead to unsightly white spots. These spots are caused by a lack of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. There are several ways to avoid white spots when tanning, including:
Exfoliating before tanning helps to remove dead skin cells and allows the tanning lotion to penetrate more evenly. Using a tanning lotion with a bronzer can help to cover up any white spots. Tanning gradually and avoiding overexposure to the sun can also help to prevent white spots.
