Our feet can get tanned and look dull due to sun exposure and dirt. Normally, most of us forget to apply sun protection on our feet, although we know that our feet are also susceptible to sunburn and sun tan as much as our other body parts.

So we must make sure to at least use a de-tan pack on the feet bimonthly to keep them tan free. Those who wear closed shoes for long periods may also get tanned feet as shoes tend to trap sweat and bacteria on the feet.

These are the ingredients you would require for your quick DIY de-tan pack for your feet -

  • 2 tbsp Curd
  • 2 tbsp Gram Flour
  • Rose Water
  • 1 tsp Turmeric

You can increase or decrease the quantity of the ingredients as per your needs, don't put in too much of turmeric as it can leave a yellow tint. Mix the ingredients well, apply and keep the pack for up to 20-25 minutes.

Wash Off Pack AND you Pat Your Feet Dry
