Ladies: 10 Safe ways to bleach your skin
Bleaching of one’s skin gives you chance to find and marry a better man. However, most drugs are not safe. Learn the natural remedies you can use on your skin to lighten it safely. Why your skin has a darker shade? There is only one reason for that and it’s called melanin. It’s a color pigment and the amount of it in the skin determines its color. There are things that impact the level of it in the skin and either darken or lighten the color.
These things are natural, that’s why they are not as dangerous as the chemicals they sell. Surely, the effect may not be radical, but they work. And you should try to avoid side effects by all means.
1. Honey
Just smear it onto your face and keep on for 5 minutes, and then wash off.
2. Licorice root
You can use an extract to apply it to the well-cleaned skin before you go to sleep. Keep it on for the night and remove by rinsing off in the morning.
3. Papaya
Mist the fruit with some lemon juice and apply to your skin. After 15 minutes remove.
4. Tomatoes
These are rich in antioxidants, vitamin C and other components. Applying them to your skin helps lightening its color. Plus, mashed tomatoes are great for treating acne and blackheads. If you have an oily skin, do this: Mash tomatoes and apply the first layer of them to your skin. Once it dries up add the second layer and keep on doing it for 20 minutes. Then use warm water to rinse off.
If you have a sensitive and dry skin, add some vegetable oil to the mix.
5. Potato
It’s well-known for its bleaching properties. Grind a peeled potato and apply it to your skin. Keep in on for 20 minutes and wash off. Use some oil to mix in for the dry skin.
6. Milk
Calcium in it helps to lighten the color of your skin. You can use the milk for daily skin washes. You can also use it with the turmeric powder to lighten the skin. The powder would turn your skin yellow at first, but the color can be easily removed with yogurt.
7. Rice powder
Use uncooked rice. You can make the powder yourself at home. Use a coffee grinder for this purpose. It is rich in vitamins C and E, which is good for your skin. Add some warm water (or milk for dry skin) to the powder and make a mask for your face. Keep it on for 20 minutes. You can do such masks up to 3 times a week.
8. Almond oil
Warm it up first. Clean the skin well and possibly apply a hot towel to it to open up the pores. Then smear the almond oil onto the skin and leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse off.
9. Lemon juice
It’s highly acidic and helps to bleach the skin naturally. And as the tomatoes do, lemon juice cures acne. However, there are certain precautions you should take after using it.
Squeeze the lemon juice out of the fruit and use a cotton wad to apply it to your skin. Keep on for 15 minutes and rinse off. After the treatment avoid being exposed to the direct sunlight for up to two hours. For those with dry skin add few drops of olive oil to the juice.
10. Aloe Vera
Use a fresh leaf instead of the ready made product. Just cut the leaf open and extract the fresh pulp out of it. Mash it and apply to your skin. You can do a 2-week course of the masks and apply them daily at least 2 times.
As you see, these natural remedies used for bleaching are not harmful. They do not have hardly any side effects. Plus, they help to keep your skin healthy, shining and young.
