Love swimming but hate the tan that comes with it? You’re not alone. Whether it’s summer pool sessions or daily workouts in chlorinated water, many individuals in Bangalore experience uneven skin tone, darkening, and sun-induced tanning—especially on the face, arms, and back.
If you’re struggling with swimming tan or body tanning, it’s time to consult Dr. Divya Sharma, one of Bangalore’s most trusted dermatologists, for safe and effective skin brightening solutions.
What Causes Swimming Tan and Body Tanning?
Body tanning occurs when your skin is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays—either from the sun or artificial sources. When combined with chlorinated pool water, the risk of hyperpigmentation and skin dryness increases.
Here are some key reasons behind tanning from swimming:
- ☀️ Sun exposure during outdoor swimming
- 🧴 Lack of broad-spectrum sunscreen
- 🌊 Chlorine stripping skin’s natural oils
- 🧥 Friction from swimwear and pool surfaces
- 🔄 Repeated exposure without skin recovery
While tanning is your skin’s natural defence mechanism, uneven pigmentation, dark patches, and sunburn-like effects are cosmetic concerns that can be professionally treated.

Why Home Remedies Aren’t Enough
Home remedies like lemon, aloe vera, or besan might offer temporary relief but often fail to address deep pigmentation or sun damage. Some DIY solutions can even worsen the condition by irritating the skin barrier, especially when used post-swimming.
For long-term results and even-toned, healthy skin, dermatological guidance is essential.
