We all need some sun every now and then but it is the constant sun exposure that can decorate your skin with tan lines. These tan lines and patches can take weeks to leave your skin and that can’t be good. That is precisely why you need to do something to get rid of those lines faster.
 
Here are five natural and affordable ways that will work for most skin types...
 

Lemon

Lemon juice is a gentle exfoliant. The citric acid concentration in lemon juice helps cure sun tan and sunburn. Apply the juice using a cotton ball to the affected area and let it stay on your skin for about 15 minutes. It will peel off the dead skin cell layer from the targeted tanned zone which in turn will lead to the formation of new clear skin. It contains healing vitamins which stimulates skin whitening and rejuvenates skin without irritating it.

 

Cucumber

You can either rub your skin with a few thin slices of cucumber or puree them into a paste. Apply this to the affected area and leave it for 15 to 20 minutes. Cucumber has high-water retention capacity and is a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants. These antioxidants penetrate in the skin to cleanse it from the core and to nourish each layer of the dermis. This eventually results in reducing tan lines.

 

Potato

Cut a potato into thin pieces and apply where needed, let it sit for 15 minutes and then remove. It will considerably reduce tan lines and brighten your skin. It will also leave your skin tight and hydrated. After regular use, you will start to see an improved skin texture and tone.
