Whether it's a beach vacation or just everyday sun exposure, tanning can leave your skin feeling uneven and dull. But the good news? You don’t need chemical-laden products or salon treatments to get your natural glow back.
Here are effective, natural remedies that you can try at home — inspired by time-tested Ayurvedic wisdom.
🌿 1. Aloe Vera + Rose Water Soothing Pack
Why it works: Aloe Vera helps calm inflammation and repairs sun-damaged skin, while rose water tones and refreshes.
How to use:
Mix 1 tbsp of fresh Aloe Vera gel with 1 tsp of rose water. Apply to tanned areas and leave for 15–20 minutes before rinsing.
🍋 2. Lemon & Honey Brightening Mask
Why it works: Lemon has natural bleaching properties, and honey hydrates the skin, preventing dryness post-exfoliation.
How to use:
Squeeze half a lemon into 1 tsp of raw honey. Apply to the affected area, leave for 10–12 minutes, and rinse with cool water. (Skip if you have sensitive skin.)
🧿 3. Besan, Turmeric & Yogurt Tan Removal Ubtan
Why it works: A traditional Ayurvedic recipe — this ubtan gently exfoliates, brightens, and nourishes the skin.
How to use:
Mix 2 tbsp of besan (gram flour), a pinch of turmeric, and enough yogurt to form a smooth paste. Apply evenly, let it dry slightly, then scrub off gently in circular motions.
🥛 4. Raw Milk Cleanser
Why it works: Raw milk acts as a gentle exfoliant and skin lightener due to lactic acid.
How to use:
Dip a cotton ball in raw milk and wipe over the tanned skin. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.
🌸 5. Kumkumadi Tailam Night Ritual
Why it works: This ancient Ayurvedic elixir is known for improving complexion, reducing dark spots, and restoring natural radiance over time.
How to use:
Apply 2–3 drops of Kumkumadi oil on a clean face before bed. Massage gently in upward strokes and leave overnight.
✨ Pro tip: You’ll find it infused in our Kumkuma Radiance Face Gel & Body Lotion — the perfect daily ritual to keep skin bright, even, and nourished.
