De-Tan & Pamper your skin
For both men and women residing in Indore, it is a challenge to beat tan with scrooching sunlight during summers. However, as we have entered autumn, it is the perfect time to de-tan.
“Many people are troubled by sensitive skin, infections and other issues during humid weather of monsoon, but now, their skin is stronger and in a better position to de-tan,” Meena Hinduja, skincare expert, said.
For de-tanning, it is suggested to use yogurt and turmeric blend that is gentle and works well on men and women skin.
