Summer has already said us Goodbye. And monsoon has finally taken its place. But sun is still there behind the clouds and it`s harmful rays are continuously effecting our skin. Tanning is a big problem of skin. Whether it is summer, monsoon, fall or winter, we can`t really escape from harmful rays of sun. And the end result is tanned skin. We do many things to escape form tanning, like applying sunscreen lotions, covering face with scarfs, wearing sunglass, hats and many more things. But tanning has become a natural process now days. Where there is a problem there is a solution too. So today I will discuss about some really easy homemade remedies that effectively removes tan from skin.
EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN PROPERLY
The first way to remove tan is to exfoliate your skin properly in the shower. Exfoliation helps to remove the top tanned layer from the skin. It helps to reveal new fresh untanned skin underneath. You can exfoliate your skin by using a good body scrub. There are lots of good body scrubs are available in the market. You can simply buy and apply them or you may make your own homemade one also. I will soon write a post about How to make Homemade Body scrub. Use face scrubs to get rid of facial tans. But remember one thing, skin of face is more gentle then the skin of other body parts. So face should not be rubbed or scrubbed every day. Always take mild scrub and apply on your face 3 days a week. For face scrubs you can go for fairness scrubs. It will help to remove tans faster than the others.

After applying lemon juice to your face, you might have tingling sensation. But don`t worry about that. Keep it for 15 minutes and wash your face with cold fresh water. Doing it every day will surely help you to get rid of tan in a short span of time
