This is why we have drafted this guide to remove tanning, using easy yet effective home remedies & tips.
Remove Tan at Home Without Spending Too Much
Sunscreens and other skin protection creams and lotions help to an extent, but they are not 100% protective, as everyone knows. Plus, your skin eventually loses its natural tone and glow.
Considering all your concerns, we have curated a list of natural tan removers that will cost you nearly no money. Not only will these remedies soothe the burns, but they will also benefit your skin, making you look flawless.
#1 Honey & Curd Pack
Rich in antioxidants and a great source of antibacterial and antifungal properties, HONEY repairs the skin cells damaged by sun rays. At the same time, CURD is an acid-rich substance that exfoliates damaged skin cells. When mixed with honey, curd also acts as a bleaching agent and removes pigmentations.
How to Use?
1 Tablespoon of Honey
2 Tablespoon of Curd
Directions:

Cucumber juice and milk do wonders on tanned skin. How? CUCUMBER has cooling properties and richness of vitamin C with antioxidants, making it a perfect remedy for tan removal.
