    This post is excellent. I normally never use to get tanned. Since I have acne, and open pores, had i tanned it will look very bad. For the past few days i hav been noticing and feeling a burning sensation in my hands. It has got so tanned, and looks black. I dont even recollect how it looked earlier. I will try the coconut oil and aloevera gel but any other remiedies...??
