How to Get Rid of Tan | Tanning Home Remedies | Tan Removal

Remove Sun Tan

A tan occurs when one is extremely exposed to the sun. While it is unreasonable, there are people who willingly go through tanning by sunbathing. They are quite unaware of the hazards of excessive exposure to the sun, which can cause several skin problems.

Health Benefits from Sun

Not everything about exposure to the sun is bad. The sun is one of the sources of vitamin D, and it presents quite a few health benefits. Here are some of them:

Exposure to the sun allows us to absorb the vitamin that regulates the phosphorus and calcium levels in our blood.

• It promotes absorption of calcium in the kidneys and bones. It also promotes bone growth and remodeling.
• It is the source of vitamin D. This promotes phagocytosis, which is the process involving the absorption of nutrients into the immune system.
• The presence of vitamin D in the body helps prevent osteomalacia.

it is advised to avoid the peak hours between ten o’clock in the morning and four o’clock in the afternoon. It is at this time when the sun has the dangerous ultraviolet rays. Others would prefer to remove suntan. There are remedies to get rid of the tan as soon as possible.

Removing Skin Tan

A tan can result to a darker skin color. However, there are ways to remove what tan you have already acquired, whether it is through the help of tanning sprays or just mere sun exposure. If it isn’t that permanent, you can simply exfoliate the area where the skin has darkened.Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and consume lots of water every day. Other than that, lemon, orange, pineapple, and berries especially are supposed to be beneficial remedies for a sun tan. You can also crush any one of these fruits and apply the paste on your skin; leave it on for 30 minutes, and then wash it off. Foods like potato and lemon have natural bleaching agents

• Lemon juice rubbed on the skin can also be used to remove the tan.
• To minimize the effects of drying, aloe juice and vitamin E will moisturize the skin.
• Curd is another remedy to reduce sun tan effects. Applying it on the face and body before taking a bath will help.
• Tomato juice applied on the skin also helps lighten the skin.
• Cucumber and honey made into a sticky paste will soothe the redness effect of a sun tan.
• Raw milk mixed with lemon juice and applied on the tanned area is still another home remedy. You just leave it on the skin for 15 minutes to 20 minutes. It is effective in reducing the harmful effects of sun tanning.

Aloe Vera & ur SKIN

The aloe vera plant is like a magical plant for women, trust me on this. It works wonders for us from the toe to the head.

As we all know there are many many products available in the markets which have aloe vera content in them, not just creams and lotions but many of the cosmetics contain aloe vera too, since it is natural, safe and non allergic (to any skin type).

Eyes: Aloe vera reduces the puffiness of the eyes. So if you wake up to puffy eyes, run to the garden and get some aloe vera on your eyes, or simply have handy aloe vera gel and massage your eyes with it. Aloe vera is one of the most important contents in most of the eye products, including the many of the eyeshadows.

Here’s a most effective way for using Aloe vera for your eyes- irritations and itch at the eyes (not in your eyes):
Take aloe vera gel and mix it with boric acid, mix them together. Filter the gel with a tea stainer or coffee filter and apply on eyes.

For irritation with in the eye, just put a freshly cut aloe vera pod on your eye, this will reduce the irritation and redness of the eye.

You can apply aloe vera gel on red blotches which are bound to happen when you get your eyebrows plucked, same is the case with the facial hair.

Lips: Aloe vera is rich in vitamin E so it works wonders for the lips. Aloe vera is used for treating chapped lips or even dry lips and why wouldn’t it treat dry and chapped lips after all aloe vera is water plant. Mix aloe vera with olive oil for a great great lip balm substitute.

Skin: If have been mentioning this over and over again, in all my skin related home remedies, that aloe vera is Holy Grail for the skin, trust me. It’s the best moisturizer, undoubtedly. Be it the winter itch or the scorching summers, aloe vera is always the best skin remedy. Aloe vera has non-inflammatory properties hence it is used by most of the cold creams and moisturizers.

Here’s how you use it on your skin:
If you have skin burns, acne, cuts, scars and blisters simply cut a fresh aloe vera pod from your garden and squeeze out the gel from the pod, you can also use a spoon for doing this, and apply the gel directly on the affected area. You can combine this gel with wheat grem oil or any essential oil for that purpose.

Aloe vera basically has anti bacterial and anti fungal properties so it helps in curing burns and insect bites very decently. Not just this, it helps in reducing skin marks, blemishes and also aging skin and skin spots.

Dilute aloe vera gel with water and apply the mixture on your vicious pimples and acne before going to bed. The acne are bound to disappear within few days (this one is tried and tested by me). The juice of aloe vera also cures spots and skin freckles.
Aloe vera works as a skin brightener too, it helps in getting rid of pigmentation. It’s a great facial cleanser and the best skin nourisher since its rich I 18 amino acids, vitamins of different kinds and minerals too.

Make your own aloe vera scrubs by mixing sugar, aloe vera gel and lemon juice or sea salt (khada namak), aloe vera gel, baby oil and honey.

It’s a lso a great astringent and helps in tightening the pores.  Aloe vera gel is also used for curing stretch marks.

Hair: Aloe vera wonderfully works for your hair too. It scrubs of your dandruff, and afflictions like psoriasis and seborrhea. It also helps in reducing hairfall. For the men, you can substitute aloe vera gel, for your styling gel too.

Massage the aloe vera pod into your scalp, you can also remove the gel with a spoon and then massage it in, this gives the scalp nutrients and thus augments healthy hair and hair growth.

Teeth and the mouth: Aloe vera also has the powers to cure your periodontal afflictions. Bleeding teeth or gums, inflammation, tooth ache and decay can be combated with aloe vera.

Pains and strains: Since aloe vera readily soaks into the skin, you can use aloe vera for treating skin strains and sprains too. Use a cold compress with some aloe vera gel on the affected area for 2-3 times a day.

Internal healing benefits: Aloe vera gel also helps you in getting rid of stomach disorders, headaches and kidney afflictions. The yellow juice like gel which is found just below the leave’s skin is a great laxative. It also helps in combating, allergies and sinus.

In a nutshell all I wanna say is that the aloe vera is a bliss bliss plant, so get it rooted in your gardens ASAP, or get aloe gel from your nearest ayurvedic stores.
