Benefits:

  • Avocado: Packed with vitamin C and E, avocado is a skin-loving ingredient that benefits your skin in more ways than one. It not only reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles but also repairs skin damage and treats acne. The best part about using avocado on your skin is that it helps remove suntan, making your skin complexion brighter and spotless.
  • Cucumber: Did you know that cucumbers have high water content? They are made up of about 96 percent water. Its cooling properties help soothe the skin and at the same time, eliminate suntan and cure sunburns. It also leaves your skin nourished and moisturised, thanks to its vitamin C content.
  • Lemon: Loaded with citric acid and vitamin C, lemon acts as a skin-lightening agent that helps fade dark spots and rids your skin of stubborn tan. However, it’s important that you don’t overdose your skin with lemon juice. The citric acid in lemon can burn and irritate your skin, adding to your skin woes.
  • Rosewater: Rosewater is like a skin-refreshment ingredient. However, you’ll be happy to know that this powerful ingredient can also help eliminate suntan and soothe sunburns. It acts as a toner and leaves your skin calm and relaxed. Adding rosewater to your skincare routine can actually work wonders in healing scars, reducing redness and irritation and maintain the skin’s pH levels. 

Instead of getting hold of so many ingredients, you could simply use the Lakme Sun Expert De tan scrub in the areas of your face or body that are tanned and whisk away away all the tan quickly and effectively.
