    Wash with cold water.

    These are effective and commonly used home remedies for skin tanning. Whatever home remefies you follow, you need to use it continuously to see the results. Please try these options and let me know whether it will work out for you. Otherwise we will see different remedies.

  3. I agree..after trying so many expensive products and facials, I started doing this for my pre-wedding planning. I used this combo - Turmeric+Gram flour+Lemon Juice+ 2 drops of olive oil [for moisturization] + Milk Skin [the layer that comes up when you boil rich milk]. I used it only at night as using in morning darkened my skin..

    But after 3 weeks, the results were pretty good and much more long lasting than any facials!

    1. You can use turmeric powder regularly to get rid of pimple and black dots problem. You can make a pack with mixture of malai(cream on top of milk), besan flour, turmeric powder and milk. Apply it regularly. You can also apply neem paste. Crush neem leaves and apply the juice on pimples. Wash your face with clean water at least 2 times. Himalayas Neem face wash also works on pimples. Please take care of your diet too. Reduce oily items. Avoid polluted areas. Sometimes harmonal imbalance may also lead to pimples. In that case, consulting doctor is recommended.

    1. Use Multani mitti or sandalwood face masks twice a week. Use rose water to tone ur skin. Clean ur face with gel based face wash for oily skin twice a day. Use a soft face wipe to clean ur face once you wake up. You can use papaya face pack also once in a week.
