Summer is already here and
it is time to bring out your short dresses and shades to enjoy the summer sun
at the park or the beach with family and friends. Despite all the happiness and
fun, at the end of the day, most of us are left with ugly and unattractive sun
tan on face and hands that takes away all the fun from the outing. With the
lack of time, most of us, opt for quick-fix solutions like a session of bleach
or use chemical-laden cosmetic products for instant tan removal. But all these
products take a serious toll on the delicate skin of the face and show fatal
side-effects in the long run. Therefore, it is best to choose natural remedies
to remove suntan.
I will leave the pictures below of some organic,chemical-free natural products which work great for all skin types.
Best ways to remove the suntan with natural ingredients:
1.Cucumber, Rose Water and Lemon Juice Pack:
The cucumber juice and rose water act as cooling agents for
soothing the blemished skin. Take a tablespoon each of cucumber juice, lemon
juice and rose water and mix in a bowl. Apply with cotton on tanned areas, wait
for 10 minutes, and wash off with cold water. Apply this pack every day after
you get back home from the sun.
2.Besan (Bengal Gram Flour) and Turmeric Face Pack :
Mix 2 tablespoons of besan, a pinch of turmeric, 1 tablespoon of
milk, and 1 tablespoon of crushed orange peel in a bowl with cold rose water.
Apply on clean face and let it dry for 20 minutes. Moist the dried areas by
sprinkling water on it and slowly remove the pack by scrubbing gently in
clockwise and anti-clockwise direction. Apply this pack once in two days for effective
exfoliation and tan removal.
3.Papaya and Honey Face Pack :
The application of honey on chapped lips is an age-old
remedy. Honey helps in moisturizing and softening the skin. For this pack, take
½ cup of ripe papaya pulp and mash it well, add a tablespoon of honey to it and
mix well. Apply on clean face and dry for 30 minutes. Rinse off with water.

In order to prepare this pack mix 2 tablespoons of tomato pulp, 1
tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of yogurt in a bowl and apply on
face. Let it dry for 30 minutes. Wash with cold water. The tomato juice may
cause a sensation of itchiness in the beginning, but it will mellow down with
regular application.
5.Aloe Vera, Masoor Daal (Red Lentil) and Tomato Face Pack:

soft and supple. Mix 1 tablespoon each of yogurt and orange juice and apply on

Potato juice helps treat skin aging, blemishes, and
inflammation. It soothes the skin and calms it. Extract the juice of one potato
