How To Use De-tan Cream Effectively For Glowing Skin?

Stepping out in the sun may have several negative consequences, including getting tanned, and who doesn’t know how annoying these sun-tans can be? Thankfully, due to de-tan creams, sunny days are now full of fun, since getting rid of tan has become easier than ever. Although the tan removal potential of de-tan creams is widely known, their contribution to offering naturally glowing skin is really underrated. So, let’s explore how to use a de-tan cream properly to unlock a clear and radiant complexion. 

What Is A De Tan Cream 

De tan creams are specifically crafted to reduce hyperpigmentation or dark spots caused by sun damage. Long time sun exposure to the sun triggers your delicate skin barriers which results in excessive production of melanin, turning your skin complexion darker. A de-tan cream targets the hyperpigmented areas through deep exfoliation, leading to rejuvenation of skin cells and your natural complexion. 

How To Use A Tan Removal Cream   

There are many de tan soaps and tan removal creams available in the market. Still, only through the proper application can you attain a natural radiant glow. Let's understand how to use de tan cream for the best results: 

• Cleansing 

Any effective skincare ritual starts with proper cleansing, and we’ll follow the same here. Use a gentle cleanser to remove the oil and dirt from your skin, so that the de-tan cream penetrates well into the skin. 

• Patch Testing

Before applying any product including a de-tan cream on your skin, always consider conducting a patch test to avoid side effects like developing rashes, redness, or skin irritation. In this case, apply a little amount of Pokonut de-tan soap on your elbow or right behind your ear and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Unless you feel any adverse reaction, go ahead with the next step. 

• Application 

If you are using a skin tan removal soap, make a lather with it and apply it evenly on your face and other tanned areas. By creating a lather, you can ensure the even distribution of the product throughout your skin. 

For those using a de tan cream, take a generous amount of cream and apply it on affected areas with your fingertip in the form of a dot. Then, gently rub it all over the pigmented skin for a more even application. 

• Duration 

The best way is to follow the instructions given on the product that you are using. However, generally leaving the de-tan cream or soap on for at least 15 minutes is recommended.

• Rinsing 

Once the job is done with the de-tan cream, it's now time to rinse it off. We'd suggest you use lukewarm water to wash it off, followed by pat drying gently with a soft cotton cloth. Don't go rough on your skin during the washing phase, as it may potentially trigger your skin barriers. 

Frequency Of Use 

Even the best de-tan soap or cream may need consistent use to reflect remarkable differences. For the best results, incorporate Pokonut De-tan soap into your daily bathing ritual, and if you are using a de tan cream or mask, consider applying it twice a week. 

Additional Tips For Best Results 

Here are a few hacks to help you upgrade your de tan game: 

• Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen to minimise the risks of getting tanned. You may opt for Pokonut Herbal Sunscreen. 

• Protecting only your face from sun damage isn't enough. Upgrade your sun protection game by wearing an SPF body lotion. 

• Make tan removal an integral part of your skincare routine to get rid of annoying tan easily.

• Avoid direct sun exposure unless it’s absolutely necessary. 

Common Mistakes To Avoid

• Rushing the tan removal process will not help you in getting rid of the tan any quicker. 

• Massaging roughly is not a good idea. 

• Over-exfoliation can strip off natural oil from your skin, so you should consider avoiding it. 

• If you are using a de-tan mask or cream, don't use it more than twice a week. 

• It might take some time to remove years-old tan. Be patient and consistent.
