When I think of summer, an alarm bell starts ringing immediately in my head. Time to bring out the anti-suntan facepacks!
Sure, you go out heavily protected with a suncreen of SPF 30+ (or if you're obsessive like me, then 50+), but still, at the end of the day your face looks super dull, tired and patchy from sun exposure.
Not to worry, disaster management is now readily available at your fingertips.
Meet the Biotique Fruit face pack and the Lotus Herbals DeTAN, your new best friends for the summer.
Biotique Fruit face pack
The Biotique Fruit face pack claims to be made of the juices of Lemon, Tomato, Pineapple and Papaya - all of which are fruits known to have bleaching and whitening properties. The face pack comes in a dark pink colour and has a smooth, paste-like texture; glides on pretty easily. The packaging is just like standard Biotique face-pack products - small green cylindrical tub filled with product, which has to be taken out with fingers/ brush/ spatula.
This pack is best when used frequently, especially for those with longer durations of sun exposure. Yields results within a week or two.
Priced @ Rs 199/- for 85 gms. With daily application, it could last you upto a month or even more.
Use-for-money : 4/5
Economical : 3.5/5
Product Efficiency : 4/5
Overall rating : 3.8/5
Available @ all leading beauty supply stores across India.
Lotus Herbals DeTAN
Lotus Herbals SAFE SUN DE-TAN After-Sun Face Pack claims to contain active herbal extracts of liquorice, dandelion and carrot, which helps to remove sun damage and bring back radiant glow to the skin.
This face pack too has a creamy paste-like consistency, and has a pale carroty-yellow colour. The packaging, too, is in-sync with the whole "Sun" theme - the product comes in an orange tube which can be squeezed to extract the face pack.
The DeTAN is a good product from the Lotus Herbals line, infact I would say one of their best-selling and fastest moving products. For a reason - it works well. You need to give it time though, regular application of around 2 to 3 weeks to see big results. Be patient and you will be rewarded!
Priced @ Rs. 185 for 100 gms. Available at all leading beauty supply stores across India.

Hi, Thanks, I have oil skin, have tried mostly cucumber face pack, didnt get much result and in my face I could see some of the black dots,Please share some tips here for this..
And keep on blog...
Hey ShivJansi, maybe the dots on your face are blackheads. These usually form on the face due to accumulation of dirt and oil settling inside open pores, especially if you are exposed to a lot of pollution. To get rid of them, exfoliate by using a good scrub once or twice a week. You could also try blackhead removal strips which are available at all beauty supply stores. Hope this works!
Oh and also, remember to moisturize your face after you wash it. Most people who have oily skin tend to skip moisturizer, but this is actually a bad idea cos your skin may secrete more oil if it is dried out by the facewash. To reduce the oily look, try setting your face with powder after you moisturize. A compact powder like Lakme's Perfect Radiance should do the job wonderfully.
