Toxic colours, sun tan, skin burns and allergies due to colours are unavoidable, courtesy your friends and the naughtiness in the air.   Khushboo Jain, spas and wellness expert  gives you some great scrubs and therapies to get back the refreshed, cleansed and rejuvenated  skin after a colourful crazy weekend. Peel off, exfoliate, scrub, polish the body skin, along with hot oil hair massage at spas to get smooth and beautiful complexion back.

This gel removes tan and sun damage, stimulates the senses and tightens pores. Mighty Aloe Vera:  The Aloe Vera wrap is an effective natural sunburn soother, it soothes burn skin and provides moisturiser to the dry skin. It encouraging new cell growth. Applying fresh aloe vera gel to the damaged area helps the epidermis of skin recover faster.
