Best Dullness & Tanning Removal in Varanasi

Everyone loves going on those beach vacations, but dreads the tan that comes with it. Those annoying months of the year when your feet don’t match your ankles and your shoulders don’t match your arms are truly dreadful when you want to dress up (or down!).

What is tanning and why does it occur?

When we stay out in the sun for too long, its harmful ultraviolet rays penetrate through our skin cells and damage their DNA and RNA.

To protect excessive damage to the skin, our body’s natural effect is to produce melanin which creates a barrier between the sun rays and our skin and also naturally darkens it.

The more time in the outdoors we spend, the more melanin is produced. This forms layers on the skin and is what we usually see as a tan.

Other reasons why skin gets dull?

Other than the natural process of tanning which is beyond our control, there are several factors that cause your skin to lose its natural glow.

1. 1. Dust and pollution: The long hours in traffic spent next to pollution-emitting vehicles does no good for our skin. All the dust and grime tends to settle on it, creating a layer of dullness in the long run. A lapse in your skincare routine can only add to this effect.

1. 1. Sun exposure: Other than leaving you with a tan, the sun rays can also suck away moisture from your skin, accelerates the ageing process and makes it look dry and rough.

1. 1. An unhealthy diet: You are what you eat, and this rings true even for your skin. If your diet is poor in nutrition, it makes your skin lose its natural glow and hence appears dull. Plus, if you’re a regular drinker or smoker, the effects of alcohol and nicotine only add to poor skin health.

1. 1. Improper skincare routine: Lack of a proper skincare routine that’s tailored to your skin type and lifestyle can result in a build up of grime, dust and other external pollutants. This can also aggravate acne in the long term.

1. Blue light and work environment: Spending long hours in an air conditioned room in front of your laptop or phone screen? The air from the air conditioner can severely dry your skin as it lacks any moisture that is present in the outdoors. Plus, the blue light emitted from electronic devices and high periods of stress can also result in dull, unhealthy skin.

Why should you treat your tanned or dull skin?

If tanned skin is left untreated, it can result in serious issues such as sunburn and premature ageing in the long run. This could speed up the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and crows feet as the sun rays also break down collagen in the skin.

This may also result in the formation of freckles and sun spots. In extremely severe cases, tanning can also lead to cancer of the cells called melanoma that begins in the cells that produce melanin in the deep layers of the skin.

How to prevent sun tanning & dullness of skin?

While in-clinic treatments go a long way to reduce tanning, you can prevent it from the root by making some simple changes in your skincare and lifestyle.

Wear sunblock

We say this time and again, sunblock is your best friend. Whether the sun’s out shining or hiding behind the clouds, the UV rays can harm your skin even if they are not visible. Never skip on sunblock before you leave the house. Check your SPF requirement with your doctor and make sure you’re wearing one that’s not a part of your BB or CC cream.

Use a scarf

There are so many interesting ways to style your hair or outfit with a scarf, especially if you’re spending loads of time outdoors. Make sure you wear one during your daily commute to protect your skin from sun damage and sensitivity.

With a combination of lifestyle changes and tan-reducing treatments, be assured your skin is going to be its brightest, glowiest best.
