Lighten Your Skin Naturally

Skin lightening and whitening skin tends to darken for several reasons. It can be due to environmental factors in like exposure to the sun, stress or the wrong diet. When your skin tone starts to darken because of exposure to sun rays, there are ways you can lighten it naturally.

Use lemon juice

Lemon has an acidic composition and it’s also rich in vitamins and anti-oxidants. These core properties are what make lemon juice a good ingredient for creating fairer skin complexion. You can apply lemon juice directly on the skin using a cotton ball. But try not to expose your skin to the sun 1 to 2 hours after application.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are also rich in vitamin C and its naturally acidic composition makes it perfect for oily skin. You can apply the tomato pulp directly to your skin and allow it to dry. You may also use a mixture of tomato pulp and lemon juice and apply on the skin using a cotton ball. Leave it for 20 minutes before rinsing your face with warm water.

Apply warm milk

Milk contains calcium which helps to maintain the skin’s normal tone. You can apply milk on your skin to help prevent dryness. The lactic acid present in milk also help to minimize skin pigmentation. You can use a wash cloth to apply the warm milk directly on the skin. Massage the skin gently for 3 to 5 minutes.

Apply orange juice

Orange juice has often been used as a skin lightening ingredient. You can choose to incorporate oranges in your diet and you’ll notice a sudden improvement in your skin’s texture and suppleness. Also apply orange juice on your skin mixed with turmeric powder. You can leave it to work overnight and rinse it off the next morning. When repeated on a daily basis, this can really boost your skin tone.

Beautiful Lighter Skin

Aloe Vera extract

Aloe Vera has been used in different skin products because it contains a powerful ingredient known as Aloesin. Aloesin is what regulates the production of melanin in the skin. Aloe Vera has a gel that contains powerful anti-oxidant properties which will make your skin radiant and smooth. When you apply Aloe Vera gel 4 times daily for two weeks, you are likely to notice a significant improvement.

Honey

Honey has often been used in moisturizing products sold commercially. It’s a powerful ingredient that helps to eliminate dead skin cells and significantly boost the skin tone. Honey also has anti-bacterial properties so it’s best used to fight black spots, scars and acne.
