The following face packs will help to remove dark spots on the skin and fade the dullness caused by sunburn:
1. Seaweed and Turmeric (The Golden Glow)
This is one that has been used since ancient times. While seaweed removes dirt from the skin, turmeric acts as an antiseptic and gives the face a glow.
How to use: Mix two spoons of seaweed with a pinch of turmeric and a little milk to make a paste and apply it on the face. Wash it off after 15 minutes.
2. Yogurt and Honey (Natural Bleach)
The lactic acid present in yogurt acts as a natural bleaching agent. This helps to remove dead skin cells.
How to use: Mix one spoon of yogurt and half a spoon of honey and apply it on the face and massage it. Wash it off after 20 minutes.
3. Aloe Vera and Lemon Juice (Tan Removal)
Aloe vera is the best for removing sun tan.
How to use: Add some lemon juice to fresh aloe vera gel and apply it on your face. This will help to brighten your skin. (Note: Applying lemon juice directly may cause skin irritation, so mix it with the gel).
4. Ripe Papaya Pack
The enzyme ‘Papain’ present in papaya helps to lighten your skin tone.
How to use: Mash ripe papaya well and apply it on your face. Rinse it off after it dries. This will also help to remove blemishes on your face.
5. Tomato Juice (Pore Tightening)
Tomato is one of the most suitable ingredients for oily skin. It will help to close the pores of the skin and enhance the tone.
How to use: Cut a tomato in half and rub it gently on your face. Rinse it off after 15 minutes.
3 things to keep in mind to enhance your complexion:
Drink water: Drink at least 3 liters of water a day to make your skin glow from within.
Sunscreen: Don’t forget to use sunscreen when you go out in the sun, otherwise, even face packs will not work.
Eat fruits: Include fruits rich in vitamin C (oranges, gooseberries) in your diet.
