TAN REMOVAL PACKS AT HOME

I think tan removal packs are one of the easiest ways to take care of our skin during harsh summer. These packs provide a soothing effect to the skin and also give a natural glow from within. In addition to that, they help in removing sunburn effects.

I prefer using natural ingredients which are easily available and in these 2 packs which I am sharing, I have used those ingredients present at my home.

If you are allergic to any ingredient, then please do not use that particular one.

TAN REMOVAL PACKS AT HOME- 

CURD AND TURMERIC

• YOGURT- 2 teaspoon.
• TURMERIC POWDER- 1 teaspoon.
• MIXING BOWL

METHOD:

• In a mixing bowl, take 2 teaspoons curd and one teaspoon turmeric powder. I prefer to use wild turmeric powder for better results. I mix the two ingredients thoroughly so that no lumps are present.
• For application, first, wash your face with lukewarm water and pat it dry.I  apply the face mask all over the face and neck. I avoid the eye area.
• This mask can be also ap[plied on the hands and feet.
• I let the pack to sit for about 15 minutes.
• Wash it off with cold water
• Apply toner and moisturise as usual.

TAN REMOVAL PACKS AT HOME-

TOMATO, CUCUMBER AND GRAM FLOUR(BESAN)

• TOMATO-1 whole.
• CUCUMBER- 1,  small-sized.
• Gram flour(Besan)- 3 teaspoons.
• Mixing bowl.

METHOD:

• I use a grater to grate the tomato and cucumber.
• Take the tomato pulp.
•  extract the juice from the grated cucumber.
• In a mixing bowl add the cucumber juice, tomato pulp and besan and stir them well.
• Wash the face with lukewarm water.
• Apply the face mask all over. I would advise you not to apply the mask around the eyes.
• Keep the mask for about 15 minutes.
• Wash the mask with cold water.
• I follow my toning and moisturising routine as usual.

TIME OF APPLICATION OF THE PACKS:

After sunset, I would prefer to apply these masks. The steps mentioned should not be skipped and the application should be regular to get a good result. The frequency which I prefer for these packs to be applied is about 3 times per week.

BENEFITS OF THE INGREDIENTS:

Tomato– Lycopene is the cause of the red colour of the tomato. Some researchers say that usage of tomatoes on the skin reduces the effect of skin cancer as it helps in removing sunburn effects. Tomato is not a substitute for sunscreen. I suggest everyone to use sunscreens every day to reduce the risk of skin cancer.

Cucumber– Cucumber juice is very cooling and acts as a hydrating agent for the skin.

Yoghurt- Yoghurt has calcium. lactic acid and b vitamins. It is said that yoghurt is a natural exfoliator as it has lactic acid in it as well as it helps to brighten the skin.

Turmeric- Turmeric is a wonderful herb. Turmeric is a helping hand in fighting infections and pigmentation and acts as a brightening agent.

Gram flour(Besan)-  Gram flour is made from chickpea. It is also a natural exfoliator and besan also helps in depigmentation. regular usage gives a soft and supple and smooth skin.
