Tanning is the most common and worst thing in summer. Basically, tanning is skin darkening due to the harmful effects of sun. Summer has just begun and we know most of you are already tanned. We can’t avoid the sun because of daily traveling and that is why tanning is not very surprising.
So, if you have sported a tan on your body then we are here to help you out. We’ll be sharing some home-made masks to remove sun tan effectively. Though there are many creams and lotions available in the market which claim to remove tan immediately but they are loaded with chemicals and can cause allergies too.
If you are looking for some simple yet effective homemade mask to remove tan than this post is for you.
Papaya and Honey Mask:
Take half cup ripe papaya pulp and mash it well to make a smooth paste. After mashing, add a table spoon of raw honey in it and mix it well. Apply this mixture on face and keep for at least 25 minutes. Once the mask is dried, rinse it off using plain water.
Effects: Papaya is known for its skin whitening and exfoliating properties. So, using a papaya mask helps in easy tan removal. I have also seen many parlor ladies using papaya mask as tan-removal. Combined with honey, this face pack works really well for tanning and pigmentation.
Lemon juice and sugar scrub:
Lemon juice is known as bleaching agent so the best way to remove tan is by using lemon juice. All you need is one tbsp lemon juice, and half tbsp fine organic sugar. Mix all three ingredients well and apply this on affected areas. You can just apply the mixture and keep for 15 minutes. You can also use this mask as a scrub as it contains sugar granules. After scrubbing for 10 minutes, wash off with plain water.
