In Ayurveda, beauty is not just skin deep. It stems from a holistic balance between the mind, body, and spirit. Tanning is often a result of an imbalance in the body’s natural elements, known as doshas. The three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha – significantly determine your skin type, reactions, and propensity to tan. Let’s say goodbye to those unwanted tanning effects and hello to radiant, glowing skin the Ayurvedic way.

Tips To Prevent Your Skin From Getting Tanned
- Apply Sunscreen. It is the bodyguard of the skin. Have you tried Natural Sun Protection Yet?
- Wear Sunglasses.
- Cover yourself when getting out in the sun.
- Stay Hydrated. You must drink at least 12 to 15 glasses of water daily to avoid dehydration. Well-hydrated skin is also less prone to sun damage and tanning.
Remember, consistency is key when using these natural remedies. Results may not be instant, but with regular use over time, you’ll notice a reduction in tan and an improvement in your skin’s texture. Additionally, always do a patch test before applying any new ingredient to your face to ensure you’re not allergic.
