Summer is the season of sun, beach, sands, warm breeze and outdoor fun. But the summer fun in the outdoors often leaves an unwanted souvenir that is the suntan. Well the summer golden glow can look beautiful, it often is harmful to the skin, making it look tanned. If you are looking for natural and effective methods to remove your suntan, then this is the best place that you can be at, because we will help you in revealing your natural skin tone.

1. Exfoliate

You might not know but exfoliation is the fastest and great way of removing the sun tan. Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells and helps in lightening the suntan. Use a natural and a gentle exfoliator. Himaira Vitamin C Scrub is one of a kind that is super gentle for the skin. It is a gel based scrub with dissolving particles that scrubs off the dead skin and gives a shining glow to the skin.

2. Aloe Vera

Harness the power of aloe vera directly from the aloe plant. The aloe vera is an all natural soothing agent that is best known for its skincare properties. Aloe vera soothes the suntans and sunburns effectively. Apply a thin layer of aloe vera directly on the skin before sleeping and rinse in the morning. The aloe vera will work its magic overnight and will give soothing healthy skin.

3. Follow a skincare regime

Well it might seem very basic but following a skincare regime and being consistent with it is very important to remove the unwanted sun tan. Remember to always follow the basic steps like face wash, toner, serum, moisturizer and sunscreen. Also never forget to include your scrub and masks two times in a week for better results.

4. DIY to the rescue

You can always depend on the simplest home remedies for your skincare. DIYs are easily made and do not require much effort.

- Apply tomato pulp on the tanned places and let it sit. Tomatoes are rich in Vitamin C and are great for brightening the skin. Rinse off the pulp after 20 minutes and see brightness into your skin. This can be done everyday or weekly to gradually remove the tan.

- Yogurt and turmeric mask is an oldie but a goodie. Yogurt helps in cooling down the skin while turmeric has anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Mix a pinch of turmeric in a tablespoon of yogurt and apply it on the affected area. Let it sit for sometime and wash off with lukewarm water.

5. Never miss sunscreen!

Other than protecting the skin from harsh sun rays, sunscreen also protects against further tanning. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen like Himaira’s Sunshine Lotion with SPF 50 PA++++ which is non irritant and great for all skin types. Reapply every two hours if you are outside in the sun or even outdoors.

6. Take care of the additional tips

- Avoid using harsh soaps which can strip off the skin. Opt for mid and hydrating cleansers which are enriched with aloe vera or glycerine.

- Always wear protective clothing when you are sunburnt or tanned. They help in preventing further tanning. Hats, sunglasses, scarfs come in handy to protect your skin too!

- Avoid going out in peak sunny hours as the sun is the strongest between 10am to 4pm. Try to stay indoors as much as possible and minimize the sun exposure.

Removing sun tan is a slow and time taking process. You need consistency and patience to remove the sun tan and gradually the natural skin colour will reveal itself. By following the different tips and tricks and maintaining a healthy skin care routine you can slowly restore your natural radiant skin. So now enjoy the summer without any tension of being sun tanned or sun burns.
