A simple way to improve your complexion in one week

The onset of summer brings fun and frolic with swimming and beach holidays, but the prolonged exposure to sun’s ultraviolet rays can also darken the skin complexion due to excessive melanin production. Sunburns and suntans are difficult to deal with, however it is very important to deal with it immediately as it has terrible effects on your skin such as dark spots, tan lines, red patches, and sometimes blisters.

So, here I am sharing with you few home remedies which can help you to get rid of sun tan, improve your complexion and enhance the texture of your skin immediately:

• Make a paste of a pinch of turmeric and a tablespoon of milk powder in two tablespoons of honey and the juice of ½ lime. Apply it on your face and leave it on till it dries. Rinse your face and feel the difference.
• A regular use of fresh coconut water on the hands and face is known to be very effective in getting rid of a tan as well as making the skin supple and soft.
• Prepare a mixture of oats and buttermilk. This mixture should be rubbed onto the tanned area as the oats will help in exfoliating the skin and on the other hand the butter milk is known to be extremely soothing for the skin.
• A cream with equal parts of milk powder, lemon juice, honey and almond oil can be applied and left on for 20 minutes. This will help lighten your tan. You can store this for about a week and use it thrice daily for best results.
• A mixture of lemon juice, rose water and cucumber juice should be applied on the face as a face pack. Lemon juice is citric acid that helps remove the tan and the cucumber and rose water are cooling agents

In addition to these measures mentioned above, I would recommend you to always use a sunscreen(SPF 15, SPF 20, SPF 30, SPF 30 PA++), approximately 30 minutes before going out in the sun
