Glutathione cream for summer tan: a simple routine
How to protect your skin in Indian summers and help tan fade faster.
Summer tan fades on its own once you protect your skin; a glutathione night cream can help it look lighter sooner. Sun protection does most of the work.
Daytime: protect
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 30 or higher with a high PA rating (PA+++ or more).
- Use enough: about two finger-lengths for face and neck.
- Reapply every 2 to 3 hours outdoors, and after sweating.
- Cap, sunglasses and shade at midday.
Night: care
Cleanse with Gluta Boost Face Wash, then apply GlutaNex Glutathione Night Cream. On sunburnt or peeling skin, pause actives and use a plain moisturiser until it calms.
How long tan takes to fade
Usually a few weeks once you protect your skin consistently; deep tan from months outdoors can take longer.
Avoid
Lemon juice, baking soda, harsh scrubs and bleach creams: they irritate skin and can leave it patchy.
