Shahnaz Husain Suggests Natural Ways To Remove Skin Tan At Home

The summer season brings along common skin issues like sunburn and skin tanning. Even if we slather on lots of sunscreen lotion on your body, the harmful rays of the sun manage to damage our skin and take the natural glow away. The harsh rays of the sun not just burn your skin but take away its natural shine and reduce skin elasticity too. If you have been soaking in some sun all this while, thinking you aren't really stepping out of the house and it all won't damage your skin at all then you are wrong! Sun tanning happens when you spend hours in the sun. 

You don't really need a special session at the salon to get rid of this skin tanning post this lockdown. Now that you are stuck in your homes, you have all the time to treat your common skin issues. Beauty Expert Shahnaz Husain shared some easy, natural ways to remove skin tanning during this lockdown period. 

There are a lot of natural ingredients that can help you get rid of the tan at home like turmeric, yogurt, saffron, ripe papaya, lemon, oranges, tomato, buttermilk among others.
