Sun tan1 is a very unpleasing and crucial problem in all women’s lives. Suntan not only makes our skin appear dark and unappealing but also disrupts the smooth texture and essential features of our skin.
The most affected areas of sun tan are the face, neck, and arms. Despite applying sunburn protection lotions2 and various other chemical creams, we fail to remove the tanning. The parlor visits might minimize the sun tan but do not give us satisfactory results. When all physical and chemical attempts fall short in eliminating the tan, it’s the homemade remedies that heal the situation.
Here are a few homemade remedies that remove sun tan within fifteen days:
Boil seven or eight potatoes and smash the potatoes to make a thick paste. Add lemon juice to it. Keep it aside for a few minutes and then apply it on the affected areas and allow it to dry completely. Once it dries, wash the paste with cold water, and make sure you repeat the same procedure at least twice a week.
Take a lemon. Cut it into two and apply the lemon over the affected areas, squeezing it continuously over the tanned areas. After the lemon juice dries, take a bath after thirty minutes.
Smear yogurt on your face. Yogurt is one of the best cleansers that reduces darkness as well as makes the skin glow and smooth. Smear it regularly on your face.
Squeeze out some tomato juice and put it on your face and leave it for 15 minutes. Repeat this procedure after every alternate day.
Ground a few almonds to a fine powder along with oatmeal. Add plain yogurt and milk to the powdered mixture and keep the mixture away for a few hours. Spread the mixture over your face and allow it to dry and later wash it with cold water. It heals the sun tan completely. Repeat the method twice a week.
Daily, before sleeping, apply aloe vera on your face and wash it early in the morning.
Rub raw milk regularly on your face to gain back the glow of your face.
The above-mentioned remedies are the best ways to diminish sun tan with minimum effort and also protect your skin from harmful chemicals and give you better results. So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and get rid of the sun tan right now.
