Simple Homemade Face Packs For Tanned Skin

Summers have only just begun and quite a few of us are already sporting a tan! Blame it on all the time you spend out there by the pool, or the tempting beach vacation you just took to beat the heat. Add to that your daily travel or outdoor time and you have a lot of sun on your skin that you don’t really want.
There are a lot of products available in the market these days that promise to remove tan in the most natural and effective ways. The truth is, these products, no matter what they claim, are loaded with chemicals. For someone who is already tanned, this can be a cause of concern, as certain chemicals or ingredients can cause allergies on skin that has been exposed too much to the sun.
One of the best ways to take care of this situation is by trying out some easy and homemade face packs for tanned skin. These work much more effectively to remove the tan from your face. Natural ingredients like oranges and lemon have worked wonders in reducing the tanning effects. What’s more, these will not cause any side effects, and as they are all natural, will add more nutrition to your skin.

1. Orange or Lemon Peel and Milk Face Pack:

What you will need to prepare the face pack:

  • Orange or lemon peel powder
  • A tablespoon of raw milk

How to prepare the face pack:

  • Take a spoonful of orange or lemon peel powder in a bowl.
  • Add a teaspoon of raw milk to it and make it into a paste.
  • If you are using dried lemon peel then after adding the milk, you can grate it in a food mixer.
  • Add more peel powder. If it is too runny, create a smooth paste which makes it easy to apply.
  • Once done with the paste, apply the mixture on the face. Let it dry and then wash off with water.

How it helps:

  • This pack has milk which is great for making skin supple and moisturized.
  • The lemon or orange peel has vitamin C and citrus acid which helps the pack to lighten the skin tone and to reduce tanning.

Caution:

Do apply a small amount on a small area to see whether the lemon powder is too harsh for your skin. Do not apply directly on irritated skin which may lead to more irritation.

2. Sugar Glycerin and Lemon Face Pack:

What you will need to prepare the face pack:

  • A tablespoon of sugar
  • ½ teaspoon of glycerin
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

How to prepare the face pack:

  • Take the lemon juice in a bowl.
  • Add sugar and glycerin to it. Apply this solution on the affected areas.
  • Apply the pack as a scrub and gently use an upward massaging motion as you rub your skin.
  • Repeat the scrubbing for 10-15 minutes
  • After scrubbing with the granules of sugar rinse off the pack with water.

How it helps:

  • This face pack and scrub helps you to get rid of tan while gently moisturizing the skin with the glycerin.
  • Lemon is a great bleaching agent and hence helps in making the skin tone lighter.
  • For this face pack to work, one must continue using this face scrub once a week and keep following it up till the desired results are reached.
