Sun tan
Natural bleach like lemon and tomato are very effective to remove suntan. These natural products should not be used directly on your skin |
but should be applied with a base. If your skin is sensitive to lemon and tomato juice, apply a mixture of cucumber and turmeric juice 3-4 times a day. A body and face pack of orange juice, musambi juice, tomato juice, basan(chick-pea flour), milk powder or bread soaked in milk and multani (fullers earth), applied regularly will give you immense benefit.
