How to DE-TAN(sun tan) naturally.

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog!

So, its summer time which means sun tan, uneven tan, dark spots, redness, etc. We absolutely hate the sun tan. So today, i am going to share my thoughts, a couple of ways which will help you get of rid of that ugly uneven sun tan.

                                                                                 

1. Exfoliate.

Exfoliating is very important. It helps remove the layer of dead skin cells and rejuvenate new skin cells. Exfoliating regularly will help the tanned layer slowly fade away. Exfoliate once a week with a body scrub or you can make one at home.
*Add two table spoons of lemon juice to four table spoons of sugar. Mix well. Finished.
Lemon is a natural skin bleaching agent. It will help fade your tan with regular use(not everyday),while the sugar is a great exfoliating agent.
* Mix two parts of coffee powder to one part of water. Mix well.
Coffee is best know for its exfoliating properties. It will make your skin incredibly soft and radiant.

Also coffee helps reduce cellulite.

2. Tomato

Tomato is another skin brightening agent. Cut a tomato into half and rub over the body/tanned area for 10 minutes. Repeat with the other half for another 10 minutes. Do this once a week. Regular use will help fade the tan. This can be used even on the face.

Tomato when rubbed on face refreshes your face and also helps reduce pimples. Regular usage will give a rosy radiance to skin.

3. Lemon

As mentioned above, lemon is a great skin bleaching agent. Do the same process as of the tomato. This can be done twice a week. You can see that your tan is fading from the very first week. Also, lemon has a tendency to dry out your skin so make sure to apply a soothing moisturizer soon after or aloe gel works best. Its  better not to expose to sunlight soon after this, so i recommend on doing this at night, before going to bed.


Half a lemon dipped in sugar shall be rubbed on face to get radiance and also exfoliates skin at the same time.

4. Gram Flour&turmeric

Gram flour is also another agent helps give radiance back to the skin while turmeric helps lighten the skin tone. Make a paste by adding two table spoons of turmeric to four table spoons of gram flour. Add two table spoons of rose water and half a lemon's juice. Mix this well. Add the other half of lemon's juice. Apply this paste on the required area and rub for around 10 minutes or so. DO this after your bath and do not expose to sunlight for at least 30 minutes or one hour if you can.

Turmeric when mixed with water to form a paste, can be applied on pimples to reduce them. You can see over night results

5. Potato 

Cut a potato into half  and rub on the required area. You would want to put a little pressure so that its juice comes out. You can also make a potato mash and rub over your skin, but i feel its a bit messy than the first method. Potato also helps reduce the tan and gives radiance to the skin. DO this once a week regularly.

Potato slices when places on eyes give a cooling effect. They also help get rid of dark circles.

 You can do any individual step once every week

For best results, all the above 5 steps shall be done for five days, one step each day regularly every week. And beautiful radiant skin is in. <3

General tips to prevent and heal sun tan.

* Wear sunscreen everyday, no matter how cloudy it is. Use one with at least SPF 30 and make sure that it is a broad spectrum sunscreen which will prevent damage from both UVA and UVB rays.

* You would want to use a sunscreen with higher SPF on the face because face is the first part which is hit by the sun.

* Try to wear more clothing if you can... :P of course its hot and we cant but a thin cotton jacket to cover most of your body would help....

* Use a hat if you can, it will not only protect your skin but also your hair..

*Make sure to always carry a sunscreen lotion or a sunscreen mist to just spray after every 2 to 3 hours.

* Use aloe gel to calm and soothe sunburns or redness.

*Drink lots and lots of water to keep yourself hydrated and fresh. Try to avoid carbonated drinks and milk shakes. Opt for lemonades and energy drinks.
