5 tan-targeting DIY homemade facial scrubs

Exfoliation is a skincare process that removes damaged skin cells from the surface of your skin. It enhances your skin’s appearance, removing tanning, blackheads, dirt, grime, oil, and more. Exfoliation mainly includes gentle scrubbing, which has two key principles. The process works on the ‘less is more’ and ‘nurture your skin’ concepts, which means having a limit to proceed with and consistently following it with a moisturiser to replenish any lost moisture. If you’re scared and tired of using manufactured exfoliators with harsh results, then create your own DIY facial scrub and seep in the benefits.

Step 1: Take 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of olive oil. Add 1 tablespoon of honey and squeeze a big lemon.
Step 2: Create a paste and apply it on your face. Scrub for a few minutes and then wash it with cold water. However, do not keep the paste on your skin for too long, as it will suck out moisture from your pores.

Tomatoes are popular for removing skin tan, and on the other hand, yoghurt is a natural bleach that lightens your skin tone. Blend the two for an active scrub and remove the outer tanned layer from your skin.
Step 1: Prepare a scrub using a teaspoon of tomato pulp with yoghurt and add a spoon of lemon juice.

Step 2: Mix it well and apply this on your face for tan removal. Let the paste dry for some time and then wash it with cold water.

Step 3: You might feel an itching sensation on your skin after application, but once the solution dries, you can rinse your face, which will further remove the tanned layer from your face.
