Stepping out in the sun is as harmful for your skin in winters as in summers. Most of us experience dark and dull skin the moment the season arrives and you wonder where’s the glow? Well, with just a few handy tips and home remedies from beauty expert Aashmeen Munjal, Owner Star Salon ‘n’ Spa, Delhi you can prevent and get rid of the winter tan:
2/6
Glycerine: Glycerol or glycerine is a hydrating ingredient. It works even better than petroleum jelly. Take warm water showers during winters and scrub glycerine with the help of a loofah of tanned areas. Using glycerine based soap or shower gel also keeps the winter tan from affecting the inner layers of the skin.
3/6
Coconut cream: Coconut malai or cream can be rubbed on to the affected area every alternate day to get rid of the dullness from the affected area. It also makes your skin lighter.
4/6
Supplements: Your skin not only turns a shade darker during winters but also appears dry and dehydrated. Vitamin E supplements can be helpful to tackle this condition and prevent further damage to the skin.
5/6
DIY face mask: A simple easy homemade mask made from turmeric, chickpea flour or besan and glycerine is your best bet to get rid of tanning during winters. Turmeric is a natural bleach and glycerin hydrates your skin to bring back the glow.
6/6
Sunscreen: We love basking in the sun to beat the cold but the rays are certainly damaging your skin. Do not step out without a sunscreen during winters. Your hands, feet, neck and face need a good coat of sunscreen and you might even want to reapply it if you are in the sun for long. Use a thin scarf to cover your face if you are sitting in the sun.
