As it heals up.

The skin is the first to bear the brunt of the summer heat, leading to problems like suntan, sunburn, skin sensitivity, rashes and eruptions. Try these home remedies, that can help you save your skin:

For removing suntan, scrub your face with this pack. Add a teaspoon of milk to two spoons of oatmeal and add two tablespoons of tomato juice, some orange pulp and a few pinches of poppy seeds. Blend the mixture together so that it forms a thick density like a face pack. Apply it all over your face and neck, leave till it dries and scrub it off while rinsing. The tomato and orange extracts will brighten your skin tone, while the milk will add glow.

To give glowing effect to tired skin, milk mask does the trick. Just apply milk mixed with glycerin all over your face. Relax for 15 minutes and rinse with water. The treatment softens, rejuvenates and restores a natural PH balance, thus protecting the skin from the negative effect of the sun.
