Summer is not considered a good season for your skin. Pimples, rashes, and tanning are common problems in this season. It is important to take preventive measures like wearing sunscreen, wearing appropriate clothing, and staying hydrated to reduce the effects of heat on your skin. But, even then, continuous exposure to the sun can cause tanning of your skin due to the harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. However, this tanning goes away in a few days. But, if you want to remove tanning as soon as possible, then some home scrubs help you in removing tanning.
5 home scrubs to remove tanning:-
Tomato-Oatmeal Scrub
A scrub of tomato and oatmeal is very beneficial for the face. Tomatoes contain lycopene, which helps reduce skin damage and tanning. To make this scrub, mix two tablespoons of oatmeal with two tablespoons of tomato pulp. Stir it well to make a paste and apply it to your skin. Gently massage your skin and wash it off after a few minutes.
Papaya-Honey Scrub
This homemade scrub not only helps in removing sun tan but also helps in nourishing and moisturizing your skin. To make this scrub, take some pieces of papaya and mash it until it becomes a smooth paste. After this add two tablespoons of honey to it. Apply this paste while massaging slowly at the place where you are applying it. Wait for a few minutes and wash it off with cold water.
Turmeric-gram flour scrub
Turmeric contains curcumin which can help reduce pigmentation and tanning of the skin. Mix one tablespoon of turmeric powder and one tablespoon of milk in two tablespoons of gram flour. Apply this paste to the affected area and wash it with cold water.
Lemon-Sugar Scrub
Lemon and sugar scrub is an effective scrub. Lemon has natural bleaching properties, which help in reducing pigmentation and tan. On the other hand, sugar acts as a natural exfoliator which helps in removing dead skin cells. Take a bowl and put two tablespoons of sugar and lemon juice in it. Apply this scrub to your skin and massage it gently for a few minutes and then wash your face with cold water.

Honey has all the properties to remove skin disorders. Take two tablespoons of rice flour and add some honey to it. Mix well and apply this mixture on the face. Wash it thoroughly with water after 10 to 15 minutes. However, if you have any problem with these things, then consult a dermatologist before using these methods.
