4. Honey
Honey helps bleach skin while also acting as a moisturizing agent.
Dry skin is a common factor that contributes to an uneven skin tone. Honey also
has antibacterial properties that can help fade age spots and acne scars.
Apply pure honey to your face, leave it on for a few minutes
and then wash it off with lukewarm water. This simple remedy will help remove dead
skin cells, making your skin appear brighter and fresher than before. Do this
once daily.
To make a skin-lightening mask, combine one teaspoon each of
honey and lemon juice, one tablespoon of powdered milk, and one-half teaspoon of
almond oil. Mix them well and apply it gently on the skin. Leave it on for 10 to15
minutes and then wash it off with cold water. Do this every other day.
5. Lemons
The acidic property in lemons works as a natural bleaching agent
for the skin and the high amount of vitamin C in them encourages new cell growth.
Also, lemons have antioxidants that are very good for skin complexion.
Dip a cotton ball in freshly squeezed lemon juice and apply it
directly on your face. You can even rub a cut lemon directly over the affected
skin and allow the juice to stick to the skin. Leave it on for at least an hour
and then wash your face with water. Do this once daily. This simple remedy will
surely lighten your skin complexion and can also prevent the development of scars
on your face.
Mix three teaspoons of lemon juice and one teaspoon of turmeric
powder or tomato juice to make a paste. Apply the paste on the skin and leave
it on for half an hour. Wash it off with water. Do this once daily.
Alternatively, mix together one teaspoon each of lemon juice,
powdered milk and honey. Apply it on your skin and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes
before rinsing it off. Do this daily or every other day.
Note: When using these remedies, be sure there are no open wounds
on your skin. The acidic nature of lemon juice can cause pain in open wounds.
Also, lemon juice may not be suitable for sensitive skin or if you are allergic
to lemons.
6. Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera can alleviate hyperpigmentation and restore your skin’s
original color. Hyperpigmentation is one of the main causes of uneven skin
tone.
Also, the cooling effect of aloe vera helps regenerate new
cells and rebuild damaged tissue, which is important for healthy skin. This
simple remedy using aloe vera gel can lighten dark spots and improve your
overall skin complexion.
Cut the outer layers of an aloe vera leaf. Squeeze out the thick,
jelly-like substance.
Apply the gel thoroughly on your skin.
Leave it on for about 30 minutes, and then wash it off with water.
Do this at least twice daily for two weeks.
If you do not have an aloe vera plant, you can buy aloe vera
gel in the market.
