Get Rid Of Body Tan Naturally With These 7 Home Remedies
Here are some effective home remedies you can try to get even-toned skin naturally.
1. Rose Powder
Rose petals powder is known for its soothing, brightening, and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps lighten skin tan, reduces pigmentation, and provides a natural glow.
In a bowl, combine rose powder and water to form a smooth paste. Add a few drops of almond oil to the mixture to enhance its moisturizing properties. Apply the mask evenly to the tanned areas of your body. Leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes and gently scrub it off using lukewarm water to exfoliate the skin.
2. Gram Flour and Wild Turmeric
Gram flour (besan) is a mild exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells, while wild turmeric (also known as Kasturi Manjal) is known for its anti-inflammatory and brightening properties. Together, they form a gentle yet effective remedy to reduce face and body tan and even out your skin tone.
In a bowl, mix the gram flour and turmeric powder. Add yoghurt or rose water to form a thick paste. Apply the paste to the affected areas and let it dry for 15-20 minutes. Once dry, gently scrub the mask off using lukewarm water. Use this remedy twice a week for visibly brighter skin.
3. Rosehip Oil
Rosehip oil is rich in vitamins A and C, which are excellent for skin rejuvenation and rice flour is known for its exfoliating properties. Together, they will gently remove body tan and hydrate the skin deeply to reveal a radiant glow.
Combine a few drops of rosehip oil with rice flour, rose petals powder, and water to create a smooth paste. Gently massage the paste onto your skin in circular motions, focusing on tanned areas. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with cool water. Repeat this process twice a week for best results.
