Hi,

You developed sunburn due to severe exposure to sun at the beach. The affected skin becomes erythematous initislly then followed by burning of the skin. The upper layers of the epidermis become burn and the dead cells exfoliate gradually. This causes depigmentation. This offcourse for short period only. After the bed effects vanish, the new layers of upper part of the dkin fome back. Thiss might take few weeks..4 to 6 weeks. So, you do not worry. Your glow may come back afer few weeks. I hope you got my answer. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
