While the rest just deal with dark pigmentation of the skin that is caused by sunburn. your skin can go dark, dull and dry because of prolonged exposure to sun. Also, in the same manner can result prolonged use of some chemical products.
These days- literally at every drug store and parlor you go to you can find many skin whitening creams available. But almost 60% of the products appear to be made of chemical, and are sure to harm the skin in the long run. I can tell for sure that they contain abundance of chemicals which without a shadow of doubt that in just a few weeks of usage will give you a reverse effect.
Whatever the case may be, natural remedies are always a savior especially when it concerns the skin. Hence, here are few skin whitening home remedies that are really effective in lightening your skin.
- Dried orange peels + yogurt
By placing them under the hot sun you can dry the orange peels until the peels turn dry and crisp. Later, until it turns into powder grind the dried peels. To make a paste, mix a tablespoon of this with a tablespoon of fresh yogurt. Then apply this paste over cleansed face and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Repeat this at least thrice in a week for best results.
- Tomato + yogurt + oatmeal
All you got to do is mix a tablespoon of oatmeal with a tablespoon of tomato juice and yogurt each. Until you get a thick consistency in the paste mix well. Later apply this on your face as a mask and leave it on for 30 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water (you may also apply light and mild skin moisturizer after drying your skin).
- Milk + lemon juice + honey
For this remedy make sure to use fresh lemon juice. Mix together a tablespoon of milk and lemon juice each. Then, add in a teaspoon of honey. To balance out the drying property of lemon, honey acts as moisturizing agent. Mix these ingredients well and apply over cleansed face. Leave it on for 20 minutes before rinsing off.
- Yogurt
Apparently yogurt does a lot of favour to your skin. It contains lactic acid, which can naturally bleach the skin. Just rub some fresh yogurt onto your face and let it sit for 20 minutes. Rinse off as usual. You can also try mixing yoghurt with a tablespoon of honey or lemon as an alternative for best results.
- Lemon
There is no better natural bleaching agent than lemon! Cut out a small part of lemon and in circular motion rub it on your face. Allow the juice to rest 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. You may apply some honey onto your face for a natural alternative after trying out this remedy to lock in some moisture. Oherwise, you may use your regular face moisturizer.
- Gram flour
This remedie will lighten your complexion, and it will also keep the blackheads away. By leaving behind just enough oil to keep the skin moist it removes excess oils smartly. Make a fine paste out of two tablespoons of gram flour and some rose water. Until thick paste is formed add in rose water. Later rub this all over your face and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing off. It is advisable that you repeat this at least thrice in a week.
- Tomato juice
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!
- Turmeric + sandalwood + milk
This is another trusted and proven way to whiten your skin naturally. All you need is two tablespoons of sandalwood powder, a teaspoon of turmeric powder and some milk. Until a thick paste is formed add in the milk little by little. Later, apply this on your face and before rinsing off leave it on for about 20 minutes. These ingredients are some well known natural whitening agents and they remove impurities from skin effectively.

Later using a cotton ball or a facial cotton apply it onto your face. Apply evenly and leave it on until it dries. Rinse and cleanse your face with a mild soap. Potato juice is also known for its moisturizing properties.
- Oatmeal + sugar
