The onset of summer brings beauty woes like skin tanning and sunburn. While applying a good sunscreen (SPF 30 at least) is great to protect your skin, the harsh summer sun can still manage to damage your skin and take your glow away. We’ve got you some amazing face packs made with all natural, kitchen ingredients that can help protect your skin from the scorching heat, get rid of dark spots or tanning and restore your beautiful glow.
1. Cucumber Juice and Rose Water Pack
Apply a mixture of rose water, cucumber juice and a dash of lemon juice once a day. Lemon juice helps reduce the tan, while rose water and cucumber work as cooling agents.

You can also prepare a paste by mixing a pinch of turmeric, lemon juice and raw milk. Apply the mixture properly all over the affected area and wait till it dries. Wash it off with cold water.
4. Oats and Buttermilk Pack
Buttermilk soothes and softens the skin. Make a pack by mixing a tablespoon of oats with buttermilk and apply it on your face or body to get rid of tanning body parts. Oats can help in exfoliating the skin.
5. Curd and Lemon Pack
A mixture of gram flour, lime juice and curd is the best way to get a glowing skin naturally. Use it regularly to get rid of tanning.

9. Sugar and Lemon Pack
Sugar is one of the best cleansing agents and perfect to make a homemade scrub. Apply the mixture of sugar and lemon juice on your face and wash it after 20 minutes. If you have dry skin, then add a few drops of glycerine to the mixture.
Tanned skin may be accompanied with dark lines, itching, redness and a burning sensation. These soothing ingredients work wonders in cooling your skin and clearing up the tight pores.
