As the summer arrives, the weather is getting warmer day by day. The heat became intolerable within a few minutes. While there are a lot of options of sunscreen available out there, sensitive skin may still fall prey to sunburn or tanning. Don’t worry! There are four most effective home remedies that can come to your aid.
4 simple remedies to remove tanning
- Turmeric and gram flour
Turmeric is an all rounder when it comes to skincare. It’s a magical ingredient, especially when you’re on the lookout for home remedies for tan removal. But, it’s not just Turmeric that serves as a magic ingredient. It’s the gram flour that is best known for its exfoliating power. You have to mix these two in equal proportion with rose water. Keep this paste for 15-20 minutes. You will witness amazing results in just a few weeks.
- Tomato
Tomato is rich in lycopene that acts as a natural sunscreen. Also it is packed with antioxidants that fights with free radical damage. You just have to slice a tomato in half and rub the pulp all over the tanned area. That’s it! You will be surprised with the action of minerals and antioxidants present in it.
- Raw Milk
We don’t need to tell you about the cleansing properties of milk. And, don’t worry, we will not ask you to gallup a gallon of raw milk. You can simply rub it on your tanned skin with the help of cotton. You can also mix a pinch of turmeric and massage it on your face or hands. Let it dried up and then wash it off with water.
- Cucumber and lemon
We all love the combination of cucumber and lemon for salads. Not only is this a great salad but also an amazing home remedy for removing tan. Lemon’s bleaching properties combined with the cooling effect of cucumber will help you get rid of skin tanning. All you need to do is mix cucumber and lemon juice with some rose water and make a paste. Now apply this paste over the tanned area.
Tips To Avoid Skin Tanning
- Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or more. Also ensure to re-apply sunscreen after a few hours.
- If you have sensitive skin and are prone to getting sunburnt, opt for full-sleeved clothes to protect your skin.
- Don’t forget to use hats and caps to protect your face and head from scorching sun rays.
