How to make your Own Home-made Skin Lightening Cream
|
Commercial skin lightening creams are getting more expensive as each day passes. Some can still afford to buy those ready-made creams but others’ budget will be shortened.
Are you running out of budget but you want to get rid of sun-burned skin? Then, here are simple steps for you to make your own skin lightener. It only requires a little effort and there you go with your skin lightener.
Lemon:
Lemon juice is said to be one of the most effective skin lightener. Mix one teaspoon of lemon juice with one teaspoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of milk powder and ½ teaspoon of almond oil. Apply this on the affected area on the skin and leave it for at least 5 to 10 minutes before washing it off.
Orange Peels and Curd:
To help minimize dark spots, mix orange peels with curd. Leave the mixture on the skin for a maximum of 15 minutes before washing it with cold water.
Mint:
Mint mask can be used also in minimizing dark spots on the skin. To prepare, make a paste from the mint leaves. For best results, let it stay on the skin for 20 minutes then wash it off with cold water. The reduction of dark spots on the skin can be observed with continuous application of the mint mask twice a day for at least two weeks.
Potatoes:
Another way to remove dark spots and blemishes on the skin is to rub a slice of a raw potato on the skin.
Lime Juice:
Lime juice is known to be a natural skin bleacher. Best result is seen when lime juice is mixed with a small amount of turmeric acid before applying it on the skin.
Two to three drops of lime juice can be mixed also with grated tomato to have a natural skin lightening formula. Leave it on the skin for at least 20 minutes then wash it off with cold water. For three weeks, apply this recipe on the skin twice a day.
Another possible combination is milk and lime. To make a paste, add one tablespoon of gram flour with two to three drops of lime juice and 2 tablespoon of raw milk. Mix. Apply it on the face, excluding the part of the eye, and let it set for 15 minutes. Wash it off after the required time. To have the best result, apply the paste everyday for four weeks and then at least once a week after the four-week period.
There are just few of the many possible combinations to make a home-made skin lightening cream. These ones are not just cheap but they are safe as well. They do not contain chemicals that may irritate the skin and causes discomforts.
However, these home-made remedies are applicable only in small areas and for slight damages. Excessively damaged skins cannot be fully treated with these simple recipes. For some cases, home-made recipes will work. But for those discolorations that cannot be treated by home-made recipes, consulting the doctor is the best option.
