For instant glowing natural and fair skin,
always keep these mantras in mind:
a. Follow the CTM (cleansing, toning and
moisturising) routine daily.
b. Exfoliate your skin at least twice
a week. This will help to remove the dead cells and open pores, thus lightening
your skin tone.
c. Always use sunscreen 20 minutes before
stepping out from home. A good sunscreen with SPF 40 will help to prevent tan
in the Indian climate.
d. Drink adequate amount of water to keep your
body and skin hydrated. A good night sleep is also very important for healthy
and glowing skin.
e. Indulge in home remedies like face packs and
scrub for natural fairness.
Here are some easy and quick skin
lightening home remedies:
1. Lemon:
Lemon
is the best natural remedy for skin lightening. It helps to reduce the
blemishes and dark spots. Rub fresh lemon juice over the darkened skin and
leave it for 10 minutes. Wash off with cool water. Remember not to expose
yourself to the sun, while doing this treatment. There is no way that you look
for skin lightening tips and not find lemon on the list. You should be careful
as lemon can cause irritation on the wounds and cuts.
2.
Milk
Prepare
a face pack by mixing 1 teaspoon of milk and 1 teaspoon of honey. Make a smooth
paste and apply all over your face. Rub gently in circular motions and keep for
15 minutes. Use low fat milk if you have oily skin and full cream milk if you
have dry skin.
3.
Turmeric
This
is an ingredient used by our ancestors and is still considered one of the best
skin lightening agents. Prepare the mask by combining 1 teaspoon of turmeric
powder and 3 teaspoons of fresh lime juice. Apply over the exposed skin and
keep for 15 minutes. You should be careful while using this pack, as turmeric
can stain your clothes.
People
with sensitive skin can dilute the pack with a little amount of water.
4.
Egg Pack
Beat
an egg till it’s fluffy and frothy. Apply on the face and keep it on till it
dries off completely. Wash off with cool water. You can also add lemon juice or
2 drops of lavender oil or tea tree oil, to reduce the smell of the egg.
5.
Tomato
Tomato
contains lycopene, which helps to reduce tan instantly. A perfect choice of the
home remedies for skin lightening. This face pack will lighten the skin tone,
reduce tan and eliminate the dead cells on the face. In a blender, add 1-2
tomatoes and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. You can also add gram flour (besan)
into it. Blend well to make a smooth paste. Apply this all over the face and
keep for 20 minutes. Wash off with cool water and repeat this procedure daily
before bath.
6.
Hot Oil Body Massage
Enjoying
your weekends? Indulge in the hot oil body massage for relaxation and also to
get fairer skin. Choose base oil such as almond oil, coconut oil or olive oil.
To this, add crushed neem and tusli leaves and warm gently. Apply this all over
your body and massage well. Keep for 30 minutes and get into the shower. Hot
oil massage increases the blood circulation all over the body and thus reduces
tan.
7.
Yogurt Pack
In
2 teaspoons of plain yogurt, add 1 teaspoon of honey and mix well to form a
smooth paste. Apply on your face and keep for 15 minutes. Wash off with cool
water. Repeat this procedure daily for best results.
8.
Fruit Pack
Fruits
can work wonders for your skin and also provide you with naturally glowing
skin. Prepare a fruit pack by combining the pulp of an avocado, papaya and
cucumber. Then add 2 teaspoons of cream or malai. Mix well to form a paste and
apply all over the face. Leave it for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water.
People with oily or combination skin can avoid adding cream, they can add
multani mitti instead into the pack.
A
good beauty regime, healthy diet and proper exercise are the keys for getting
healthy and glowing skin.
Till
then take care and keep it stylish!
