HOMEMADE REMEDIES FOR PROTECTION AGAINST SUN TAN

Sun burn or sun tan is a common problem faced by all of us, and the skin can get tanned any time it is not protected by sunscreen or clothes. The main reason behind skin tanning is a compound called melanin that is present in the skin. Our skin gets its colour thanks to melanin and people with darker skin have more melanin compares to people with lighter skin tone. If you don’t take enough care from UV rays, you will end up with different shades of darkness at the end of the summer. Most of us live in an illusion that we need to burn the pockets to buy such expensive spa products that help you in lighten the tan. Not necessary, here are some quick homemade remedies that can be easily prepared but with a little patience.
