How to get rid of skin tanning? {Skin Care}

Swathy · February 19, 2012 · 7 Comments

Happy Shivratri πŸ™‚
First thing is that I had long ago done a post on what causes dark knees and elbows and how to get rid of them so I advise you to please go through it.

Diet for Fairer Complexion
I would only suggest a healthy and balanced diet which has all the possible nutritious foods according to your eating habits. Don’t overdo anything. A cleaner body means lesser skin problems.

How to remove the tan?
The basic reason for skin darkness is excess exposure to sun and the excess melanin production resulting from the exposure. So, there are some things which one can do to prevent tan and remove it.

  • Apply Zinc Oxide sunscreen to prevent tanning. And, even if you are not able to find any physical sunscreen, don’t forget to use a normal sunscreen which is good and reliable and has spf 30 or more.
  • Using Himalaya fairness face pack and Vedic Line papaya face pack really helped with removing the tanned skin. So, you should definitely check them out. I generally used the face packs on alternate days. Applying a thick mask helps.
  • Tomato and potato are great for bleaching and removing tan and bringing a glow to the face.
  • Exercise is very very important for bringing a fresh glow to the face and regular hydration of the skin from outside and inside helps the skin maintain a healthy glow and a radiant skin.
  • Always use accessories like scarf and umbrella when outside in the sun. It helped me most to prevent skin tan.
Have you any ideas on how to prevent tan?

Price: Rs 220 for 200ml

Ingredients


Pros
  • light moisturizer, perfect for oily skin
  • smells really good
Cons
  • not meant for dry skinΒ 

My Experience
The first reaction to this product was that it smells soooooo good!!! Seriously. Not lingering but just a first whiff and some notes. Anyways, it is creamy in color but not so creamy in consistency. It is not a thick cream and spreads easily on the face. The one thing which I missed in it was moisturization. It is not a product for dry skin but it is perfect for combination and oily skin, especially, since summers have already arrived in Hyderabad.
It is a light moisturizer and doesn’t make the skin look oily at all. It gives a light dewy look to the face. And, you don’t really need a lot of it, either, so 200ml is gonna last pretty long. And, I really like the packaging of this product. It comes with a pump so its hygienic and since it’s a see-through, you know how much of it has gone.

Make Dryfruit mix at Home {Health}

Swathy · February 16, 2012 · 2 Comments

Today, I want to bring out an interesting way to consume dry fruits. I am not a healthy eater and in fact, I love all the Indian fried stuff, specially the snacks!!! So, it is quite difficult to make me eat fruits and dry fruits. I like to munch on tikkis than dry fruits. That’s why, my mom hit on a capital idea to induce dry fruits into my system.

What does she do?
Take equal quantities of all dry fruits and grind them into a mix. Simple!!! And, then, I have to eat a heaped tablespoon of it everyday. I can mix it with milk or oats or corn flakes or eat it alone. Anyway, it tastes damn good for me and I really ask mom to make more for me as soon as I find my stock getting depleted.
An extremely close view πŸ˜€
Dry Fruits and Skin?
It has all the good oils and fatty acids which makes my skin healthy and moisturized from the inside. And, it also helps my hair to look beautiful. So, hope this post helps you to make your stubborn kids eat something healthy or even you could try it on yourself if you are like me πŸ˜€
Have you done anything of the sort?
