Suntan of skin is a natural process that protects itself from the harmful ultra-violet (UV) rays of sunlight.  Upon exposure to sunlight, skin produces a brown colored pigment, called melanin that provides dark color or tanned look to the skin. Once you have Suntan, it is not easy to bring your skin back in normal state. I don’t think that any cosmetic cream or lotion can effectively treat sun-tanned skin.  However, here are few tips that can help you lighten the tanned skin color, if not remove completely.

1.  Yoghurt + lemon bleach:  Mix yoghurt with lemon juice and apply it on your skin daily before bath. This is one of the best remedy for reducing sun tan.
2.  Potato: For mild tanned skin, rub peeled potato skin on the affected area or raw potato juice for fast relief.
3.  Cucumber juice: Apply cucumber juice on your face for 10 minutes after tanning. Vitamin C in cucumber juice can moisturize your skin naturally and help you improve your skin tone.  You can also rub freshly cut slices of cucumber on your skin.  Paste of cucumber and honey is also very useful for soothing the redness due to sun-tan.
4. Sandalwood powder: Mix sandalwood powder with coconut oil and almond oil to make a paste. Apply this paste on your skin and leave it for half an hour before washing off with cold water.
5. Turmeric powder: Make a thick pate of turmeric powder with yoghurt and honey. Apply this paste on your skin for about 15-20 minutes and rinse it off in cold water.

1. Prepare herbal oil by boiling olive or coconut oil with fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, garlic pods, dried lemon peels, curry leaves, or Indian gooseberry. You can strain or allow the ingredients to settle in the container. This oil will relieve stress, improve circulation, and nourish the scalp for healthy hair growth.
2. Honey mixed with olive oil is also a wonderful home remedy for hair growth. Apply the mixture and allow it to stay for some time and then wash it off with warm water. Use gentle shampoos so as not to remove natural oils from the scalp and hair.
3. Massaging with castor, coconut, olive, or vitamin E oil is also a good natural hair loss treatment option. For vitamin E oil, you can break open three to five capsules of vitamin E in coconut oil and blend well before use.
4. Onion juice can be applied to the scalp for thinning hair. It is an excellent home remedy for hair growth. Since this might cause a burning sensation in the eyes, use a shower cap to prevent this. Allow it to stay for 30 minutes, and then wash the hair with a good shampoo.
5. Egg whites also help in replenishing the scalp and are a good home remedy for hair loss. Apply the white of a raw egg on the hair for 30 minutes, and then wash it off with a shampoo. A mixture of lemon juice and egg white could also be used to strengthen the roots of hair.
6. Do not comb when hair is wet as it can cause more hair fall. The roots of the hair are weakest when they are wet. Keep the hair wrapped in a towel for a while then let it dry naturally as excess usage of hair dryer damages the texture of hair and makes it weak resulting in hair fall.
7. Try to avoid use of harsh hair styling products, hair styles that can strain the scalp, heated hair setting instruments, and strong hair colors.
8.  Keep the hair protected from pollution. Protect the hair from dust and sun. Cover your head while going out in direct sunlight.
9. Wash the hair often to keep the scalp hydrated and clean.
10. Applying oil and leaving it overnight helps a lot in healthy hair growth as it nourishes the hair follicles and thickens hair. A daily oil massage is actually one of the best hair loss remedies that actually work.
11. Mix aloe Vera with herbal powder triphala and apply it to the hair. Continue this for three to six months. New hair will start growing.
12. Include plenty of protein and iron in your diet. Take mineral supplements like calcium, magnesium, and zinc.
