Home remedy : Sun Tan

 Hi beauties,
Sun tanning or skin darkening has become a common problem in summer. Tanning is caused due to over exposure of the ultra violet rays (cancer causing radiations) from the sun.Take a look at some of the simple home remedies that can be of great use to get rid of tan.


1.Use a face pack consisting of cucumber juice, lemon juice and some rose water or you can also try a face mask with honey and lemon juice. These face packs or face masks have to be used for some time, at least for a week for noticeable results.

2.Potato juice also is an effective treatment against Sun tan. A regular application of the juice yields positive results. Potato is also effective against pimples and blackheads make it an ideal ingredient for oily skin.

3.Make a paste using Haldi (Turmeric) with a little raw milk and lemon juice. Apply it on the skin, it will help in removing a tan.

4.Apply a paste of fresh ground mint leaves and leave it for about 20 minutes. Wash with cold water, continue for 15 days.

5.Try rubbing lemon juice on your skin. Then mix aloe juice with ½ the amount of vitamin E. Vitamin E is a good moisturizer. Dab this on the tan especially if it is a sun tan.

6. Rubbing the inside of a slice of watermelon is good for lightening tanned skin.

7. Buttermilk is another proven recipe to fade the sun tan. Wash you face with Buttermilk regularly for a few days and you would notice the difference. A natural astringent it tones the skin and is ideal for oily to combination skin.

8. Almonds are another effective but slightly costly way of ensuring lighter tan free skin. Soak 2-3 almonds overnight in cold milk, peel the skin and make a paste out of these. Apply on skin, leave for some time and wash it off. The results are miraculous.

9. You can also apply buttermilk on your skin twice daily, for about 20 minutes each time. This will cool the skin and help revitalize.

10.Mash the papaya pulp and massage the sun tanned area.

11.For oily skin, mix sandalwood paste with milk and little turmeric and apply it on the sun tanned skin.

12.You can just use plain curd or mix 1 cup curd with 2 tsp of lemon juice and make a pack with besan powder added to it. This pack or the curd must be applied to the skin and let to dry before washing off with cold water.

***Try these at home and don’t forget to apply sunscreen when you go out – Happy roaming in the sun!
