Eliminate
Prevention is better than cure, but sometimes it is already too late to prevent them and you have already become the victim of the Tanlines. But don't worry! There are a number of solutions that you can apply when you have the lines anyway, and we have listed them for a moment:
- Lemon scrub
- Soda
- Self -tanner/bronzer
- Potatoes
- Cucumber
(Lemon) scrub
With a scrub you remove all dead skin cells, which may ensure that your tanlines are already a lot less visible. And perfect means to scrub with is Citroen. This piece of fruit is a natural exfoliant. So when you mix the lemon juice with some sugar and a little honey, it is the perfect scrub's agent! About 20 minutes it needs to work in, then you can rinse it again.
Soda
A soda mask can also be a good way to get rid of your tanlines. The stuff is a very suitable means to clean with, but it can also fade your tanlines! Add the baking soda together with some water, and stir until you have a mushy substance. You then spread this over the part of your skin that you want to fade and then and then you have to give it a fifteen minutes and have it pulled in. Then you rinse it from your skin and then you will see that the Tanlines are a lot less!
Self -tanner/bronzer
If you are still not rid of your tanlines, then there are always means that can hide your skin, so that the color difference is no longer visible. For example, a self -tanner is a good example of this, but Bronzer can also help to cover the light spots, so that you can go outside carefree!

The easiest way is to cut the potato into slices or mix it into a paste and then apply it to your skin. Then let it withdraw for half an hour and you should see the result!
Cucumber
As with the potatoes, it is the amount of vitamin C that a cucumber entails that ensures that the vegetables can help against tanlines.
