One of the simplest and safest bleaching agents you will ever
find lemon! Lemon juice can work wonders for darkened skin. The
ascorbicacid or vitamin C present in lime juice acts as an
antioxidant and helpslighten the colour of the skin.
Steps:
Squeeze the juice from half a lemon and apply this with a
cottonball onto the area where the skin has darkened.Or you could
even directly rub a cut lemon over the affected area,allow the
juice to stick to the skin.Leave on for at least an hour and then
wash with water.Avoid complete exposure to sunlight when you have
appliedlemon juice onto your skin or your skin will only get darker
thanbefore.
You can also combine lemon juice with turmeric powder or
tomatojuice.
Steps:
Mix about 3 teaspoons of lemon juice with 1 teaspoon of
turmericpowderApply this paste and leave it on for half an hour;
then wash withwater.Or make a puree from 2 medium-sized tomatoes
and mix thiswith 4 tablespoons of lemon juiceApply this to darkened
skin for about 20 minutes.
