One of the biggest problems during summer is sun tan. While there are many chemical peels and salon treatments that promise to get rid of the tan, it is always better to go all natural for treating your skin. Aakriti Kochar, beauty and make-up expert, Oriflame India shares some tips on getting rid of tan naturally.
Aloe Vera, rose water and glycerine: Mix all these ingredients and apply it to the affected areas. Wash it off after some time. The mixture gives you a fresh and a radiant look and an even tone to your skin. It also helps in moisturising the skin, makes it soft and smooth and gets rid of the dryness caused by sun damage.
Curd--Dairy products are best for your skin as they have a cooling effect and do no irritate the skin. Apply curd to the affected area and wash it off after some time. It helps in softening the skin and lighten pigmentation. Make a paste of curd and multani mitti and apply it to the affected area and wash it off with cold water after 20 minutes. You can also use besan instead of multani mitti. This pack also helps in lightening elbows, knees and knuckles.
Raw tomatoes: Gently rub some raw tomato slices on the affected areas. It clears tan after a few weeks of regular usage.
Oatmeal, honey and curd scrub: This mixture acts like a homemade exfoliator for removing the dead and damaged skin because of the sun tan. It removes dead skin and reduces suntan gradually.
