Natural Ways To Lighten Your Skin

We have talked about how dangerous fairness creams can be in an earlier article. Most people are obsessed with fair skin. While that is an individual perception, its important to have clear, blemish free, firm skin, which looks more prettier than fair damaged skin. Read tips for clear skin here.

Here are a few natural ways to make your skin lighter. While using a new product or performing a new procedure on your skin, always test on a small part (behind the elbows, for example) before using if on your face.

• Treat your skin well. Eat healthy food. Avoid junk food. Fruits are excellent for our skin. Drink as much water as possible.
• Quality sleep is very important for clear skin. Get 7 hours of sleep every night.
• Use this home made scrub - Mix 1 teaspoon of honey, one teaspoon of lemon juice, one teaspoon of milk powder and half teaspoon of almond oil. Apply this mixture on your body and leave it on for 15 minutes and wash off.
• Also lemon juice with a bit of yogurt once a day is an excellent mild bleach.
• Washing your face with milk also lightens skin. Pat milk over your skin, leave it for 15 minutes and wash off.
• Make a mixture of tomato juice, yogurt and oatmeal, apply it to the body and rinse off after 20 minutes.
• Use this mixture to get rid of hyper-pigmentation - combine lime juice with turmeric powder, apply it to the skin for 20 minutes.
• Exfoliate the skin to remove all the dead skin cells of your body. The dead skin cells might cause your skin to appear a little bit darker. By removing the dead skin cells not only do you allow the skin to regenerate you also cause it to lighten. See here for tips to exfoliate.
• Avoid sun exposure, especially from 11 AM to 3 PM, when the sun's rays are at their strongest.

Each person's skin type is different and no one method will work. Try one or more of the above tips and check which works. Skin care is an on-going process. Care for your skin daily and you'll see results soon.
