Suntan Removal – Home Remedies

“Home made masks – mixture of turmeric, honey and curd can be made into a smooth paste applied for 15 minutes and washed off with cold water. Tomatoes are packed with antioxidants; a puree can be made and applied on the concerned area and washed off once it dries. These can be applied once or twice a week”, suggests the dermatologist.

Avoid using lime or lemon to reduce suntan, Dr. Udhay Sidhu says, “In my practice I have seen patients commonly using lemon to get rid of the tan and as a result, it causes worsening of the condition. Lemon has to be used with caution when using it directly on skin as it can lead to sun irritation, allergy and at times even burn the skin.”
