Skin Tan


Don't forget your sunscreen when stepping out in the sun. But before selecting the right brand for your skin consult a dermatologist and know about our skin type. 

People with normal skin can go for a sunscreen lotion whereas people with oil and combination skin type can go for a water based sunscreen. 

Most of them leave their skin unattended when they are indoor but it is important to apply a light moisturizer to the exposed areas.

ok, now how to remove the tanning using simple but effective methods?


Reducing Skin Tan:


Here are some remedies to remove tan from face, hands and feet. I have tried myself these tips and found it very effective.


1.  Beat egg white add a little honey and apply it on  face as a thin layer (avoid around the eyes). Don't try to move your facial muscles ( i.e., don't talk or laugh) as it holds the skin tight. Wash after 20mts with cold water and then with besan ( if u need). This gently removes tan and also reduce wrinkles. 


2. Mix besan with curd and apply a thin layer on face, hands and feet. Wash it when it dries. Curd is very good to remove tan. You can even do this daily before bath to have a even tone of skin color. If you have oily or combination skin add juice from half lemon to the mixture. 


3.Mix milk with little turmeric, apply and leave for 20mts . Scrub it in circular motion gently and wash off. This also reduces the growth of facial hair. 


4. As we know lemon is a natural bleach. But apply it in right way to avoid allergies. Mix lemon, glycerine and rose water in 2:1:1 ratio and apply. Wash off when it dries. Its better to prepare the mixture fresh every time. 


5.Tomato pulp mixed with curd also removes tan quickly. 


6. Mix Tea water with Multhani Metti and apply it on hands and feet. Leave it to dry and wash off with cold water. ( heard this is very effective to remove excess tan usually from hands and feet. I haven't tried this but got this tip from my beautician friend)
