Tanning is a major problem for all of us. The dual skin shades look odd also the natural glow of the skin gets effected. A few hacks from Choosmydiet’s goody bag can rescue.

There are a lot of creams/ lotions and potions available but the reason we don’t use it is because of either their cost or unavailability. Self care stuff also becomes a problem if the ingredients are too difficult to obtain….

So simple stuff here, just do remember to use …. Tell us the results though, we really would love to know 🙂

1. Cut a fresh lemon and just rub it on face, hands and feet. It does wonders. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes and wash it off. It is acidic so it can cause a tingling sensation on the skin and if at all there is a cut or abrasion it will sting, so be careful.
2. Kasturi Manjal (haldi): Just mix a teaspoon of Kasturi Manjal with a teaspoon of milk and put on face, hands and feet. It lightens the tan and also cures the skin. But a word of caution… it dries the skin so do moisturize. Also avoid doing this in the morning.. .do it at night for best results.
3. Curd and Haldi also works wonders, it also moisturizes the skin leaving it supple but again preferably do it at night.
4. Tomato mixed with lemon also removes tan and in addition adds glow to the face. Just puree one or two tomatoes and add 5-6 drops of lemon juice. Put it on the area which is tanned. Wait for 20 minutes and wash off with cold water.
5. There is an age old home remedy which not only lightens and brightens skin but also removes hair naturally. It is known as “vatna”. The mix is 1 part gram flour (besan), 4-5 drops of lemon, one teaspoon of cold milk and a pinch of turmeric. Mix it well, apply on face, leave for 10-15 minutes i.e semi –dry it and then either rub it in circular motion or  you may also wash it off with cold water.
6. Just take lemon juice and apply it directly on your hands. Let it stay for 15 minutes. Now wash it off with cold water. Lemon juice contains citric acid which effectively lightens the skin and fades away tan. However, this treatment can be a bit drying for your skin, so don’t forget to moisturize afterwards.
