Hello ladies,
The monsoon has started but we Mumbaikars still have to face days when the sun continues to relentlessly scorch us with its rays. Yes, we Mumbaikars live in a ‘frying pan’ and our skin suffers the most. That is why; I thought let me do a round-up of my top 5 sunny day beauty secrets that would help you keep tanning away!
Invest a sunscreen and apply it all the time!
You are not supposed to smear on a sunscreen just once a day and forget about it. You should be reapplying it every two to three hours if you want to prevent your skin from ageing early.
Keep your body hydrated
Dehydration can make your skin look dull and lifeless and it can affect your overall health, too. So carry a bottle of water wherever you go and keep sipping on it. If you like, opt for vitamin water to ensure that your body gets a regular supply of nutrients.
De-tan your skin
I personally did not think it was possible until I tried the Spinz Sun Tan Remover myself. I was supposed to attend one of my friend’s wedding but I was badly tanned while frolicking on a beach without a sunscreen. I had two options; go to her wedding with my burned, tomato red skin or try Spinz Sun tan remover. I decided to opt for the latter and was pleasantly surprised with the results! It worked and I ended up looking gorgeous at her wedding. Check this video to know more about the product.
In just 5 minutes, it was like I had an immediate facial. My friends who had seen me earlier in the day were pretty shocked and wanted to know the name of my parlour and how much it cost. I gleefully gave them my home address and said it was just Rs. 89!#SpinzBanTheTan
When they still didn’t believe me I invited them home the next day and took them through these simple steps:
· A Single use requires about 8 to 9 grams if used only on the face.
· Apply the Cream generously on your face avoiding the sensitive area like the eye contours.
· Massage gently in slow circular motions and leave on Skin for 5 minutes
· After 5 minutes wash with water and Pat Dry.
· Radiant De-tanned Look
Cleanse your face with cold milk
After spending time in the sun, you should come back home and cleanse your face with some cold milk and cotton to soothe your skin. Your skin will definitely thank you later.
Eat healthy
Last but not the least, you should eat healthy. If you eat greasy, oily food it will directly reflect on your skin. So eat healthy and you skin will definitely glow with happiness!

We remember the day seven years back when were travelling in a Mumbai local trying hard to come up with a name for our blog when struck us; Khushboo was always called a Jack of all Trades. The name stuck (with a slight modification, of course) and Munni was born.
Six years, over 100 collaborations, lakhs of readers and several awards later; our love for blogging continues to grow. We continue to write on an eclectic range of topics from the funniest autorickshaw signs that we have spotted in Mumbai to how to bathe an elephant. We are true blue Munni of all Trades and we hope to continue on this joyride with our fellow Munnis and Munnas.
Oh, I did not know there is such a thing called tan remover. Interesting. I believe in hydration. I have an app that tells me it's time to drink water. -katrina centeno
These are wonderful tips. I didn't know that you can de-tan your skin. It's interesting.
I totally agree on keeping ourselves hydrated but a cold milk? Hmm… Thats new for me…. Cleansing our face with milk, totally new. Will I have a breakout if I do this for first time?
De-tanning the skin looks like a nice thing to do. I agree that it's important to be hydrated.
I do the cold milk trick – it's very soothing and it keeps my skin smooth. This is the first time though that I've heard about de-tanning … pretty cool.
Number three is very interesting. De-Tanning. Never thought that reverse process exists. The others are common knowledge, but they need to be reminded to people.
I stick to my kitchen wonders with de -tanning at home using cold milk, lemon or turmeric. Even raw potato do wonders.
Thanks for the helpful tips. Among all of them, I find the hydration very important. Not only does it keep your skin nice and moist, it also prevents heat strokes.
This is my first time to hear about de-tanning and it's really possible? That's something new and interesting to research about. Of course, the first rule every summer is to keep ourselves hydrated. 🙂
Nice tips here. Cleanse your face with cold milk is something my wife should try.
eat healthy and keep hydrated is the most simplest thing to keep our body looking good inside and out. some other great tips too
You can really Detan yourself?!? Sorry, it's still quite unbelievable and I don't blame your friends for not believing!
I have tried to cleanse my face and water with cold milk after a whole day at the beach and it works. the cold milk soothe, nourish and moisturizes my skin.
I will definitely try the milk thing! It's so hot right now in Manila I feel like I may need this everyday! Haha!
Great tips, I've never tried milk cleansing even though I've read this advice many times elsewhere!
Cold Milk? Hmmmm…interesting! I am curious with this one, maybe I have to try it.
Thanks for sharing. Malaysia doesn't have 4 seasons. These tips can use the entire year.
omg, I need that de-tanning product! there's no such things in SG yet! does it give permanent results or is it just for a quick effect?
De tan and cleansing with cold milk? Both concepts I can't quite comprehend but both sound good… ,
Water intake is very important during summer to avoid dehydration and heat stroke. I was thinking of using cold milk as facial wash too coz it helps moisturize the skin – KarenT
Ohh, this is for ladies and this is great for them. More ways to take good care of your skin during summer. More and more women are very knowledgeable nowadays.
Sacramento can get really hot too, maybe similar in Mumbai during our Summer season. I agree that we need to hydrate often and apply sunscreen.
