10 BEST HOME REMEDIES TO REMOVE TAN | REDCARPETGLOW

Welcome you all, again to this blog, this time I m sure that you all are going to get a lot of information about your skin and its damage due to sun,  especially skin tan. These all  are the home remidies which I have personally used and yeilded me good results.  I don't basically want the introduction to go to long and yes! I m really excited, lets get into the blog!

Skin tanning is basically the process in which your skin gets pigmented on prolonged exposure to sun. Studies say that a minimum of 8 minutes in the afternoon sun can get your skin tanned. I m, here not going into deep science behind sun tan since it is not required here, here, I m going to discuss only about its home remedies.

It is obviously accepted that our skin gets tanned even if we use a lot of physical protections like scarf, hat and all, so home remediesis a must  thing we seek for. But, let me here also remember you that, it takes certain time for your skin to renew itself and bring back your original skin colour. So even if you use home remedies,  remember to give your skin itsown time.

1. MILK CLEANSING

Milk cleansing is one of the popular ways known globally to cleanse your skin and get rid of excessive dirt. Trust me guys, the reason why I have brought this the first point is, its going to blow your mind. I highly highly recomend you to try it atleast once and you are going to see alot of dirt coming out than ever before.

STEPS TO MILK CLEANSE: (COMBINATION TO FRY SKIN)

• Take raw milk about 50ml and keep it in your  freezer.
• After an hour or two, take the cubes out and gently rub it  on your skin.
• Even after the cube gets dissolved, use your hands to give a gentle rub of about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Take a clean cotton towel and wipe it all around your face.
• You are going too see a lot of dirt coming out on the towel.

PRO TIP: This method can also be used if you have dark neck, you will see visible results after 3 uses.

2. PAPAYA FACE PACK

Papaya is one of the key ingredients when it comes to skin tan. You may have also seen lot of papaya facial kits for tan removal. Papaya also holds brightining properties and helps it quick removal of tan. It is also rich in vitamin A and C, which are commonly used topicals in skin brighting and rejuvanation. For added bemifits  you can also add tomato juice or wild turmeric (Kasturi manjal) to it.

STEPS  IN MAKING PAPAYA FACE PACK (ALL AKIN TYPES)

• Take juice of about 3 tablespoons from crushed papaya pulp
• Mix  it with either wild turmeric (kasturi manjal) or tomato juice (any one)
• Apply it directly on your face or make it into ice cubes and apply for added benifits. 

3. BESAN FACE PACK

Besan is basically in the skin care list of all our grandmas! It has its age old benifits and have been used since years by lots of people for removing tan and skin brightining. So,  you can blindly go for it without any second thought. 

But here I m not there to promote besan,  it is my sole business to say you the cons also.  Though besan is said to have all those humectants and helps to lock water sitting on your epidermis, I have personally found it a lot more drying. But if this ingredient suits your skin, its a boom step for clean skin.

STEPS IN PREPARING BESAN FACE PACK (OILY TO NORMAL SKIN)

• Take a table spoon of besan powder, make sure that it is fine.
• Mix  it with either curd, aloevera get or just plain water.
• Keep it for maxiimum 5 minutes, you need  not wait until dry
• Cleanse it with luke  warm water.

4. TOMATO JUICE

Tomato juice has a lot of benifits, If you are looking  for just a one cheap and best ingredient to change your entire skin with ease, this is the one. It is not a big step, just take a well ripened tomato, cut it half and rub it on your skin until you find no juice in the pulp.

There are also some ways like dipping haalf cut tomato un sugar and using it as a scrub   but if you ask me i would suggest the former one which is very simple and will give you visible results like from your 3rd or 4th use. Using it 2 or 3 times a week is recomended.

5. HONEY FACE PACK

Honey is one of the effective ingredient in healing skin. Acne scars and pingmentation fading can be visibly seen when honey is used regularly, it is also used asa spot treatment for acne. Honey, on the whole moisturizes skin deeply, acts as a pore cleanser,  fades pigmentation and as a add on it also helps in healing sunburn caused during sun tan. 

Honey also acts as humectant, means, it helps in attracting water and also helps holding it. Just take wild raw honey apply it on your face, you can also add aloe vera gel for cooling properties. You can leave it on your face as much time as you can  and rinse it of with luke warm water. You can see a beautiful glow after using this pack.

6. RICE WATER MIST

Rice is someting which I have been using since years as a face pack, serum, mist, hair pack, hair conditioner and lot more. For sure you can see mind blowing results after using rice on your skin. For best results you should ferment rice water before using it as mist, but if you dont feel the fermented smell of rice then you can use  freshly prepared rice mist.

STEPS IN PREPARING RICE MIST (ALL SKIN TYPES)

• Take about 25 - 50 grams of rice and rinse it 2 to 3 times 
• Soak it for atleast 10 hours and separate the soaked ricewater
• You make this water ice cubes or can transfer to a spray bottle and use as mist
• This can be used for 3 days and fresh one should be prepared

7. CHIA SEEDS

Added to health, chia seeds also have lots of benifits for skin. It helps  in fighting free radicles and reverse skin aging, it also helps in reducing inflammation and  also increases skin's collagen content. You can see your skin barrier visibly getting stronger upon using chia seeds.  It has a lot of hydrating effects and also helps in holding moisture. Adding on, chia seeds also helps in protecting skin against UV radiation. But one corn here is that, prepating chia seed face pack is a cumbersome process, since its really sticky.

STEPS IN PREPARING CHIA SEED FACE PACK (NORMAL TO DRY SKIN)

• Take 1/4 table spoon of chia seeds and soak it in luke warm water for about 5 minutes

• Filter the seeds out and make it into fine paste, since it is a clumsy process, I don't recomend you to add anything to it

• Apply the paste all  over your face and let it sit for 20 minutes

• Rinse it off with cold water

8. OIL MASSAGE

Oil massage or any sort of massage basically helps in increasing blood circulation and promotes more collagen production and keeps your skin cells active. Massage using oil or any face serum is recomended to use daily. Tea tree oil massage is done to reduce puffy face and to reduce redness. But here,  since we are dealing with sun tan,  a type of pigmentation, I m advising you to use any dense oil. 

The best option would be sesame or gingelly oil. After massaging the oil for about 5 minutes you will be amazed to see all your blackheadsand whiteheads coming out, this is basically the concept of "fight fire with fire". Your backheads and whiteheads are the result of accumulation of oil and dirt in your pores and this plugs gets loosen up when you massage your face with oil. Visible brightness and softer skin can be seen after a massage.

9. TURMERIC FACE  PACK

Turmeric (kasturi manjal) is again an age old recepie in skin care and it has lots of scientific benifits. A precaution here is that, a patch test is recomended before using it since it may be allergitic to some. I dont want to make you guys bored by explaining its benifits as you all may know a lot about it, lets get quickly into its steps.

STEPS IN MAKING TURMERIC FACE PACK ( ALL SKIN TYPES)

• Take a tea spoon of turmeric powder (wild turmeric is recomended)
• Mix it with a teaspoon of milk or aloe vera gel
• Apply it all over your face, let it sit for 5 minutes and rinse it off with luke warm water.

10. GREEN TEA

Green tea is actually a all in one package, it does your skin cleansing, exfoliation, when used as a pack enhances you skins texture and brightess, reduces inflammation, clears clogged pores, fights premature aging, hydrates your skin and lot more. I personally use it for dark circles since its role in reducing pigmentation is huge. So green tea must be in your wishlist for removing skin tan.

STEPS IN PREPARING GREEN TEA FACE PACK  (ALL SKIN TYPES)

• Take a table spoon of green tea leaves 
• Soak it in luke warm water until leaves expland
• make it into a  pastes and you can add rice flour for extra thickness
• Apply all over your face, let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes and rinse it off with luke warm water.

GOLDEN TIP: SUNSCREENS 

Trust me guys, sunscreens are your skins best friend. You will not even get a situation to meet a dematologist, if you regularly use sunscreens atleast for a year. For better results, you should use sunscreens with atleast a spf of 30 when you are indoors. 

They not only helps in reducing your clogged pores, but also in pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and helps in overall improvement of your skin. You can also see your skin barrier getting stronger as you regularly use it.
