The Best Oil To Remove Tan

Out in the sun tanning is one of the most common problems that is faced by everyone, both during the summers as well as winters. Who doesn’t like going out to the beach to get some sun and sand? During the harsh winters, a good walk in a sunny morning can brighten up the day. It is all good until we burn our skin and get a bad, patchy tan.

Isn’t walking around the beach, surfing, swimming and doing whatever you want, the happiest feeling ever? However, it is extremely important for you to put on sunscreen before stepping out in the sun, and if you are planning to stay longer then it’s always good carry a sunscreen. Most dermatologists will recommend you to wear at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from the sun damage.

Why does our skin tan?

There is a pigment called melanin in our body that gives colour to our skin. Dark-skinned people have more melanin than fair-skinned people. Melanin helps protect our skin from getting damaged by UVA. When you stay out longer in the sun, there is more production of melanin to protect the skin from getting damaged. As more and more melanin is produced, the skin keeps getting darker, or what we known as tan.

Can oils help in reducing tan?

Natural oils devoid of chemicals and additives, contain a lot of essential fatty acids and vitamins. The presence of Vitamin E and antioxidants in oils make them very good for our skin and hair. The different fatty acids and antioxidants works synergistically in healing and treating many skin and scalp conditions. Vitamin E is effective in reducing UV damage caused by the sun to our skin. 

So yes, when used regularly oils can actually help in reducing tan and dark spots formed over.

What should I see before buying Moringa oil?

This applies not just for moringa oil, but for any carrier oil you buy. Make sure to see if it is organic, cold pressed and free from fragrances and colour pigments. It should not contain any mineral oil or vegetable oil.  Many of us are not aware of the fact that skin is the largest organ of our body so, over 60% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our body. Toxic chemicals are found in almost all the beauty products these days. The phrase “prevention is better than cure” is relevant here because before applying anything in our skin we should know is this really good for us. So, it is really important for us to educate one another to make conscious decisions on what we are applying on our skin. Don’t you think your skin deserves the best?
