Natural Skin Lightening Remedies

1. Lemon Juice

With a high content of vitamin C, lemon juice is the perfect natural skin lightening agent. You can apply lemon rind to the darker areas, soak your hand and feet in a mixture of lemon juice and water or even try a lemon lotion (two parts lemon juice, one part rum and three parts glycerin).

2. Sandalwood Powder and Tomato Juice

Red sandalwood powder is an excellent way to lighten your skin. Turn it into a paste with tomato juice and keep it on your hands and feet for 30 minutes before rinsing.

3. Cucumber Juice and Milk

Mix equal parts of cucumber juice and milk (full fat). After application, let it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.

4. Yogurt and Honey

Natural unflavored yogurt mixed with honey (half the quantity of the yogurt) makes for an excellent pack for darker skin. Rinse after 15 minutes.

5. Turmeric and Gram Flour

Mix equal parts of turmeric powder and gram flour with cucumber or lemon juice. Leave it on the area for 15 minutes before rinsing.
