Which Skin Tan Removal Remedies Work Best for Dry and Oily Skin Types?

For Dry Skin

Dry skin requires more moisturizing care and attention to the skin when fighting with sun tan. Some good remedies include the following for dry skin:

1. Honey and Papaya 

Honey is an excellent moisturizing agent which hydrates the skin. Meanwhile, papaya may be a great skin brightener with the enzymes present in it. For the home remedy, puree the ripe papaya, mix it with honey, and apply it to the skin for 15 or 20 minutes and then wash it off with warm water. This blend removes tans and at the same time nourishes the skin, making it soft and supple.

2. Aloe Vera 

Aloe vera is calming and moisturizing. It decreases the tan and sunburn and nourishes the skin. Rub the pure aloe vera gel on your skin, keep it there for 30 minutes, and then rinse. Repeat the process every day to achieve desired results. Aloe vera contains anti-inflammatory compounds that ease irritated skin.

3. Oatmeal and Yogurt 

Oatmeal is a mild exfoliant for the skin, and yogurt has lactic acid that assists in lightening the skin color. Mix oatmeal with yogurt and make a paste to be applied on the skin. Keep it on the skin for 15 minutes and wash off using cool water. The remedy eliminates tanning and keeps the moisture of the skin natural.

4. Coconut oil 

Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer and can be used to lighten tan by nourishing the skin. Just apply this coconut oil to your skin and massage it gently. Leave it overnight and wash in the morning. Coconut oil is rich in antibacterial properties, that help in keeping the skin healthy and free of infections.

5. Cucumber and Rose Water 

This is a mixture of cucumber, which is cooling in nature and calms the skin when it gets burnt by the sun and rose water as a natural toner. Mash the cucumber, squeeze out the juice, mix it with rose water, and apply on the skin, leaving it there for 20 minutes before washing off. It reduces tan and gives a refreshing feel to the skin.

6. Milk Cream and Saffron 

Milk cream is very rich in fats and a good natural moisturizer, while saffron has skin lightening properties. Soak a few strands of saffron in milk cream at night. The next morning, apply this mixture on the skin and keep it on for 20 minutes before washing with lukewarm water. This treatment removes the tan and gives a natural glow to the skin.

Oily Skin

Oily skin requires treatments that can regulate the overproduction of oil while effectively removing tan. Some effective remedies for oily skin include:

1. Lemon and Honey 

Lemon acts as a natural bleach to lighten up the skin. Honey gives the moisture to the skin without it being greasy. Mix honey with lemon juice and apply on your skin. Leave it there for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. It removes tan and at the same time balances the production of oil on the skin.

2. Gram Flour and Turmeric 

Gram flour removes dead skin cells and extra oil, and turmeric possesses anti-inflammatory qualities that help decrease sunburn and tan. Make a paste with gram flour mixed with turmeric and water and apply it on the skin, letting it dry for 15 minutes and then washing it off. This helps in lightening tan and provides a clear complexion.

3. Tomato and Cucumber Juice 

Tomato juice contains lycopene, which whitens the skin, and cucumber juice hydrates and soothes. Mix equal quantities of tomato and cucumber juice and apply it to the skin. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then rinse. This remedy reduces tan and gives a refreshing feel to the skin.

4. Apple Cider Vinegar 

Apple cider vinegar also balances the pH level of your skin and reduces tanning. Mix apple cider vinegar with water and apply it to your skin using a cotton ball. Leave it on for 5-10 minutes before washing off. Balances oil production, which leaves your skin clearer.

5. Fuller’s Earth (Multani Mitti) and Rose Water 

Fuller’s earth absorbs the extra oil and cleanses the skin of dirt and impurities. Rose water is a natural toner. Mix fuller’s earth with rose water to make a paste. Apply it to your skin and leave it until it dries completely, then wash off with cool water. This helps remove tan and gives a matte finish to the skin.

The combination would have cooling effects from the sandalwood and skin-lightening effects from orange peel powder, which is a storehouse of vitamin C, so it brightens the skin. Mix both powders of sandalwood and orange peel powder with a small amount of water to form a paste, and apply on the skin and leave it there for 15-20 minutes before washing it off for that brighter complexion to combat the tan.

6. Mint Leaves and Turmeric 

An antiseptic belonging to the family of mint, mint leaves assist in cooling the skin. Turmeric helps in lightening tan and reducing inflammation. Grind fresh mint leaves and extract their juice. Mix it with some quantity of turmeric powder and apply it on your skin. On cooling, leave it for 15 minutes and then rinse off. This remedy removes tan and provides a refreshing feel to the skin.
