Does your skin gets tanned faster and takes a week to fade out?
Treat your tan naturally to get rid of them faster.
Even with the smallest amount of sun exposure, your body and face become tanned over the summer. This is due to the sun’s UV rays, which cause tanning by triggering the synthesis of melanin (chemicals responsible for skin darkening). Compounds like Vitamin C and antioxidants available in different fruits and vegetables, on the other hand, help to diminish melanin and hence aid in the treatment of tans.
Here are some natural strategies that you should implement into your daily routine to keep your skin glowing even in the scorching heat of summer.
Lemon Juice
