How to get rid of sun tan and to get Glowing Skin !!!

Do you know??? SunTan is actually good for your skin?? Yes, it is,,when your skin is exposed to sunlight, melanin is produced in the skin to protect itself from the harmful ultra-violet (UV) rays of the sun. Since melanin determines the color of the skin, an excess of it will darken your skin color and thats the reason why your skin turns dark! uff!! But Among we girls who is ready to take Tanning heartily??? No one I hope!!

Oh come-on Girls!! we have such a lot of creams and stuff's to protect us from the so-called UV rays!! But are they worth enough to prevent you from getting dark?? I can hear to pupil tell a BIG NO.....

Suntan, once acquired, may not be easy to get rid of. However, here are a few Home made tips that you can follow to lighten,or remove the tan completely

    Formula 1: Mix yoghurt with lemon juice and apply it on your skin daily before bath. This will help you to lighten your skin color considerably.

                                                   

    Formula 2: Apply cucumber juice on your face to improve your skin tone. You can also rub freshly cut slices of cucumber on your skin.

                                        

    Formula 3: You can also add on few drops of potato juice or tomato juice with formula one and two for better results

    Formula 4: Aloe vera gel is another good treatment for sun tanned skin. Apply aloe vera gel on your skin regularly to help soothe the skin and help it remain hydrated.

                               

    Formula 5: Mix turmeric powder with yoghurt and honey to make a thick paste. Apply this paste on your skin and leave it for about 15-20 minutes before washing it off with cold water.

                                      

    Formula 6: Make a paste by mixing sandalwood powder with coconut oil and almond oil. Apply this paste on your skin and leave it for about half an hour before washing off with cold water.

                                 
   
    Formula 7: A good exfoliating scrub can be easily made by mixing dried and powdered orange peels in yoghurt. Apply this yoghurt-orange peel scrub on your skin and leave it for about half an hour. Not only will this paste act as a natural bleach, but it will also help scrub away the dead cells from your skin surface, resulting in a fresh and glowing skin.



    Formula 8: Another quick exfoliating scrub can be prepared by adding a few drops of milk to spoonfuls of sugar until they form a thick paste.



Besides these skin care tips for removing tan, you should also follow a few preventive measures to protect your skin properly. Avoid exposing your skin to direct sunlight especially in the peak period of the day- the afternoon. Wear protective clothing and apply sunscreen lotion (with an appropriate sun protection factor) before you go out in the direct sunlight.

Get ready to make your skin "Glow"!!
