Tan Removal Home Remedies that Work

 

Excessive sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation, roughness, and a loss of vital moisture in the skin. When you spend too much time in the sun, tanning is the most common skin condition. However, tanning is more than just what you see on the surface of your skin. It also causes the skin to become dry, flaky, and dull. If you've ever had this problem, you've probably wondered how to remove tan from skin without an overhaul of remedies. While a suntan may fade with time if you're looking for something that may reduce the tan, consider one of these home remedies. True, miracles don't happen overnight, but you can start by taking care of your skin.

 

Below are some easy tan removal remedies -

 

Lemon Juice and honey

Vitamin C, often known as ascorbic acid, aids in lightening the skin by naturally exfoliating the epidermis, removing dead skin cells. Vitamin C, as an antioxidant, can help in the prevention of early indications of aging and the reduction of skin damage as well. However, lemon juice might make your skin more susceptible to sunburn, so avoid using it on your skin if you're intending on going outside soon. Lemon juice has a bleaching effect that quickens tan removal. Honey is a natural exfoliant with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory characteristics that may help reduce redness, irritation, and acne breakouts. It can be therapeutic and calming on the skin for most people, but you should undertake a patch test first.

The final ingredient (optional) in this mixture of lemon juice and honey is sugar, which acts as a physical exfoliant

  1. Take some fresh lemon juice and mix it with honey.

  2. Add sugar with this mixture and gently scrub on your skin to remove dead skin cells.

  3. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes before washing it off.

 

Papaya Honey Mask

Papaya has been found to yield various healthy compounds that positively improve the appearance of the skin. Papain is a protein-dissolving enzyme that aids in the removal of dead skin cells, and can be found in a variety of herbal exfoliating products such as papaya. This is, of course, essential for removing an undesired tan caused by excess sun exposure. Papaya also contains vitamin C and lycopene that reduce inflammation and oxidative damage and give a younger-looking, healthier skin.

  1. Toss half a cup of papaya with a fork and mash it.

  2. Mix in a teaspoon or two of pure honey and stir thoroughly.

  3. Apply it on a tanned area and allow the mixture to dry completely.

  4. Wash off with lukewarm water.

 

Yoghurt and Tomato

Tomatoes are high in antioxidants, which aid in skin lightening. Lactic acid in yoghurt, on the other hand, softens the skin.

  1. Peel a raw tomato.

  2. Combine it with 1-2 tablespoons of fresh yogurt in a blender.

  3. Apply this paste on the tanned area and wait 20 minutes before washing it off.

 

Oatmeal and Buttermilk

Oatmeal is a great exfoliator and cleanser for the skin. Buttermilk contains lactic acid, which helps eliminate tan, soften skin, and even out skin tone. With antioxidant and anti-inflammatory chemicals, it aids in the healing and regeneration of tanned skin caused by environmental factors. You may use the buttermilk by itself, but mixing it with oatmeal renders it much more effective. It combines exfoliating and lightening ingredients, and make your skin glow.

  1. Soak ½ cup of oatmeal in purified water for about five minutes.

  2. Add ½ cup of buttermilk and mix.

  3. Spread all over the tanned areas and rub it into your skin.

  4. Let it sit for 20 min. and then wash off.

 

Gram Flour with Turmeric

Turmeric is a good skin brightener, and gram flour can assist in the skin-lightening process. The combination of these two ingredients fastens the process of de-tanning the skin

  1. For a thin paste, combine three pinches of turmeric with a cup of gram flour and a little water or milk.

  2. Apply this mixture to your skin and allow it to dry before washing it with lukewarm water.

 

After you've tried all of these tan removal home remedies, don’t forget to moisturize. Look for moisturizers that are absorbed into the skin and moisturize it from the inside out. To boost your antioxidant intake, eat skin-friendly meals including veggies and fruits in salads, steamed vegetables, juices, and smoothies. Adopting such food will aid in retaining healthy skin.
