Beauty Hacks: Home Remedies for Skin Whitening

Skin Whitening means the practice of using chemical substances to lighten your skin tone or to provide an even skin complexion known as Skin Whitening. In today’s era, everyone wants fair complexion, fairer skin and good looks to show herself/himself healthy and beautiful. But Using Chemicals may give side effects and it is not feasible all the time.

Dried orange peels + yogurt

 

You can dry the orange peels by placing them under the hot sun until the peels turn dry and crisp. Later, grind the dried peels into powder. Mix a tablespoon of this with a tablespoon of fresh yogurt to make a paste. Then apply this paste to cleansed face and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Repeat this at least thrice in a week for best results.

Tomato + yogurt + oatmeal

This is a potent yet gentle remedy that suits all skin types. All you have to do is to mix a tablespoon of oatmeal with a tablespoon of tomato juice and yogurt each. Mix well until you get a thick paste. Apply this on your face just like you would with your regular face mask and leave it on for 30 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water. You may follow up with a mild skin moisturizer afterward.

Milk + lemon juice + honey

Milk, lemon, and honey make a magical potion that lightens your skin better than most expensive cosmetic products. Make sure to use the fresh lemon juice for this remedy. Mix a tablespoon of milk and lemon juice each in a bowl. Then, add a teaspoon of honey. Honey acts as the moisturizing agent that balances out the drying property of lemon. Mix these ingredients well and apply to cleansed face. Leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing off.

Yogurt

Not only is yogurt yummy, but it is also great for the digestive system. But that’s not all. It also does a lot of favors to your skin too. Thanks to the lactic acid present in this probiotic, when applied to the skin, yogurt naturally bleaches and moisturizes it. Simply spread some fresh yogurt onto your face and let it sit for 20 minutes. Rinse off as usual. As an alternative, you can also try mixing yogurt with a tablespoon of honey or lemon for best results.

Lemon

There is no better natural bleaching agent than lemon! Cut out a small part of the lemon and rub it on your face in a circular motion. Allow the juice to stay on your face for at least 30 minutes. Later, you may wash off using lukewarm water. Do this daily for best results. But you must also bear in mind that lemons can dry out the skin. For a natural alternative, you may apply some honey to your face after trying out this remedy to lock in some moisture. You may also use your regular face moisturizer.

Tomato juice

 

Remember when our mothers endlessly emphasized the benefits of tomatoes for skin? Mine did. Do not take it for granted, because tomatoes can actually whiten and moisturize your skin naturally. They make your skin glow and appear fairer than ever before. Consume one raw tomato on daily basis. You can also make a mask out of some freshly crushed tomatoes with yogurt. Apply the mask every two days once and watch the magic happen!
