Some of the natural bleaches for tanned skin are tomato, honey, and lemon. They work slowly and gradually to remove the tan without any side effects. To prevent summer boils and burns, it’s advised to use Aloe Vera or cucumber as both are natural coolants.
Milk is a superb cleanser and can be used daily on all skin types to remove dirt and makeup from the face. Like our body, the scalp becomes dry and itchy too; to soothe your hair and scalp, applying a mixture of egg and yogurt is recommended; it scrapes off dryness and nourishes the hair.
