De-Tan Your Skin With These Home Remedies

A good sunscreen can protect your skin from tanning but you should also try some home remedies to get rid of those ugly tanning tan lines and sunburn marks. Skin exposed to UV rays tends to become darker as a result of melanin production. The body produces melanin to counter the harmful effects of UV rays.

Try these home remedies to fade tan lines

Cabbage treatment

Cover the affected skin with cold cabbage leaves for 15 minutes and repeat it twice a day to get good results. Use fresh cabbage as the leaves of a drying cabbage won’t work well.

Apply curd

Curd can lighten the tan lines and sunburn marks if you treat the affected skin with curd for 15-20 minutes every day. You can use homemade curd for skin treatment.

Aloe vera

Aloe vera treatment can help in de-tanning the skin in a few days. It has the properties that suppress melanin and reduce pigmentation. Also, it contains anti-inflammatory properties that will further benefit your skin. You can use aloe vera gel directly from a plant if you have one in your garden or buy it from the market.

Bottle gourd juice

It can also help in fading the tan lines and sunburn marks but you need to apply this juice on the tanned area 3 to 4 times a day. The results will be visible within a few days.

Red lentils paste

Take 1 tsp of red lentil and ground it in a mixer with tomatoes and aloe extract in equal quantities.

Complete Skincare Includes Face And Neck

Moisturizing-and-sunscreen-application-on-neck

You spend a lot of time intoning, cleansing, and moisturizing your facial skin but you pay little attention to your neck. It is so because the neck doesn’t come into your skincare routine. While your skincare regime can keep your facial skin young but your neck could reveal your age.

The skin around your neck is an extension of your facial skin….

The neck is as exposed to UV rays and your face is. Also, the skin around the neck is as visible as your face is. If you aren’t taking care of your neck, it will show signs of aging and spoil all your efforts of keeping aging signs at bay. Folds, wrinkles, sagging skin, and vertical bands will start appearing on your neck in the absence of proper care.

The skin around the neck is thinner than other parts hence more prone to premature aging. You can see the signs of aging appearing on your neck even in your 30s but most signs are due to a lack of proper care and lifestyle. For example, most folds on the skin around the neck appear due to repetitive motions or postures like looking at a computer for a long time.

Moisturizing and sunscreen application on neck….

Keep your neck well hydrated with moisturizer. Also, apply sunscreen on your neck to prevent the skin from coming into contact with UV rays. Exfoliation is also a great way to keep the skin around your neck clean of pollutants.

Also, you can go for a laser procedure for skin tightening so your neck remains free from wrinkles and folds. Alma Accent is the right laser treatment that can tone-up the skin around your neck. It will diminish fine lines and prevent the appearance of wrinkles. The hyaluronic acid-based injectable treatment is also a great way to reversing the signs of aging. You can choose any of the options or ask a dermatologist to suggest the right option.
