Posted by: swathi_686, India Posted on: 10/10/2011 I would suggest a simple and easy tip for lightening the tan- It is: Mix 2tbsp of fresh curd with 1tbsp of rice flour and make it into a cream and apply on the area of the body wherever it is tanned. Leave it for 20-30 min and then wash it off. Pat it with a dry cloth. You can seriously find the difference. For best results: Try doing this once in a week.
