Answer 1

The short explanation is that it involves changing the concentration of melanin in your skin cells. Tanning stimulates the production of melanin to protect against the endured radiation that your skin is taking.

Skin bleaching typically removes melanin from the skin, though it likely removes more than that. Can’t really comment on other methods of achieving that, but like with tanning lotion, it likely involves artificially pigmentting the skin.
