Skin lightening /skin whitening home remedies


  
If you ask me then there is no denial of the fact that we Indian are obsessed of being fair. Girls go out of their way to get fair skin .Daily we see advertisements of skin lightening cream or skin lightening products.We all try to get our skin as fair as possible and if this would have not been the case then fair and lovely would have not been the most successful product .
It is not wrong too wish for fair skin.what is wrong is to go for ways which can bring lot of side effects to your skin rather than giving you a light skin.Being dark is not that bad too reason being fair skin has more chances of getting affected by Ultraviolet rays of the sun rather than darker skin.
Like many I too have used many home remedies for fair skin and have followed many beauty tips for fairness.One can never be really really fair.For instance if you remember Kajol, she was really dark when she entered into the industry but now her complexion is quiet fair .But Kajol can never be as fair as Kareena.So my point is one can lighten their complexion but one can not become totally white.
 If you use skin lightening face washes, skin lightening facial gets, creams or packs, they are helpful in lightening your skin but just few shades.Those products who claims to makes you five shades fairer then please do check their ingredients.
Some of the skin whitening tips are:-
1.Sunsreen-You can stop your skin from further getting dark by using sunscreen all the time.Do not ignore sunscreen while swimming too and as you all must be knowing by now that one needs to re apply the sunscreen after every 30 minutes if you are going out under the sun.
2.Drink water.It helps in clearing out the skin.
How to get fair skin naturally
There are some ingredients which are helpful in making one skin little lighter then what it is.These ingredients also helps in getting rid of uneven skin tone.Below are some packs which can make you 2-3 shades lighter.

     Orange peels for fair skin -I store them for a year

1.Orange peel for fair skin- Dry some orange peels in the sun and when they are fully dried then powder them up.Take 1tbsp. of orange peel and add raw milk(kachha dood) in it.Apply this pack every day on your skin and when dried wash it off with luke warm water.You will start seeing some difference with in 20-25 days.

           Sandalwood powder for face packs

2.Sandalwood powder face pack-Sandalwood has been used by so many of us.I still remember my grand mom asking me to use chandan in my face packs to get fair skin.To make this pack take sandalwood powder , add lemon juice, tomato juice, cucumber juice and make a thick paste.Apply this pack on your skin for 15 minutes.Wash it off with water .This face packs has lemon and tomato juice as a bleaching agent which lightens the skin and give an even tone as well.
3.Natural face mask recipes-besan face pack-Besan has skin whitening ingredients and to make a paste of it , take 2tbsp. of gram flour and add pinch of turmeric powder in it.Add few lemon drops and few little raw milk .Make a paste of it and apply it on the skin.Scrub it  when it is little dried.You can use this pack on your body too.One of most popular body whitening face pack which I have used is this one.
4.Potato juice for blemish free/spotless and fair skin-Potatoes have bleaching properties and it gives a even skin tone.You can use this face pack every day and it will make your skin fair .
5.Tomato juice  also has bleaching properties which makes skin complexion lighter.
6.Soak few almonds in a cup of water whole night.In the morning peel the almonds off and make a paste of it.Add few drops of honey and apply it on your face.The pack not only makes skin fair but also brings a beautiful glow on your face.
