What's the dead stuff that rubs off my skin when it gets wet?!


Question: What's the dead stuff that rubs off my skin when it gets wet.?
I used to be really really pale but over the course of a few summers I noticed that I got really dark. My arms and legs are way darker than the rest of my body. But when my legs get wet, nothing rubs off of them. I'm convinced its not a tan because its not a glowing color. Is there a way to get rid of this stuff, like a treatment.?.? And how do I prevent it.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It sounds like you are losing your tan. You are always shedding dead skin and regrowing fresh, new skin. Getting a tan is kind of like cooking your skin so over time you will start to shed the old and you will be paler. That is why you become pale in the winter and tan in the summer. Diffferent parts of your body will shed faster.

I'm very pale but got quite a tan this summer and i'm starting to peel a lot of it off now.

there is no real way to prevent it, but you can buy body scrubs that will help get it off. just make sure you moisurize afterwards.

hope this helps!

It's just dead skin--not all of it sloughs off at the same rate, especially since you shave your legs. If you want to you can add some salt to your body wash/facial scrub to help exfoliate. Health Question & Answer
