Although applying sunscreen to our face is common, most of us do not think of putting it on our back. As a result, we tenderize our back area by exposing it to a lot of sun at the beach or when wearing deep-cut clothes. The result is an uneven and "stubborn" tan that can be very difficult to remove. There is an easy way to safely and effectively remove tan from your back, you just need to use an effective method and to follow a regular schedule.
