Hi Gabrielle,
A few months.
It is said that Chamomile Flowers does that but there is no surety about that. Chamomile Flowers contains all these enzymes that are good for the skin and removes dirt gently, giving skin a glow. I personally use it along with green tea for a facemask every morning. I’m unsure how long will it take though, may take a very long time.
Great article, I’ve had a lot of trouble whitening my skin.

Can Lemon also Fight Acne ?
It may help, just be patient and use it regulary. It works on mild acne. Wouldn’t recommend for sensitive skin, since it can possibly burn it. Also don’t dare to go on daylight sun with lemon on your face.

I made a mixture of lemon, honey and milk. I then stored the remaining in an old but clean tooth paste tube n refrigerated it. I want to know if the mixture will still be good if stored this way and for how long?
We recommend that you make it in a small quantity that can be used at one time only, as the lemon juice mixed with milk does not have a shelf life.
Hi im rachel from the philippines i just want to know if i can use “calamansi” (smaller version of lemons) as an alternative. In here, lemons are quite rare and costly while calamansi are cheaper and abundant. Thanks!
Hi Rachel: Yes you can use calamansi as an alternative to lemons.
Calamansi helps in exfoliating and lightening our skin. Cut the calamansi in half and squeeze its juice in a small bowl. Massage your skin for about 5-10 minutes then wash it off.
How much does it work?:)
These are very effective remedies.
I have just combined lemon juice, cucumber juice, carrot juice and honey hoping to achieve a better results.
Serwaa, I am sure you will see positive results.
I made a mixture of lemon, honey and powdered milk, can i leave it overnight after applying it?
@Kindness
Lemon juice is a bit acidic. So if you leave it on your face overnight it may irritate your skin. Better way is to wash your face with lukewarm water to open up your face skin pores, so that when you apply the mixture it penetrates deeper. Apply the mixture, let it dry, sit on your face for 20 minutes and then rinse it off with cool water..

Hi I’m Alexis , I’m dark brown and I want to get lighter how long will it take and does it work on African Americans /black?
Hi Alexis,
Depending upon your skin’s present skin tone, it can take a couple of months. But in a month time your skin tone should start improving.
However, you should not worry too much about color of your skin that you are borne with. Always remember, beauty is inside you!
Why would you want to mess up your beautiful shade of brown to look whiter? Darker skin is beautiful and warm and healthy. Embrace your dark skin because it’s you. Pale doesn’t associate anyone with automatic beauty and these false advertisements telling girls that they need lighter skin to be beautiful, are lies. You are a child of the sun, your skin is much more than dark it is the imprint of kings and queens who leave their legacy for you, your skin is the symbolization of life. Your skin represents soft, alluring, strong skin. So please don’t lighten it. Don’t lighten your natural beauty. I know it’s hard to believe that the darker you are the more alluring and stronger you appeal, but trust me, these white women built like little boys are not worth your time. The pale skin you look up to isn’t pure, it wrinkles early, dries up in heat and one day, will no longer even be on the face of this earth. Do you know that your skin shade is desirable, that they had to fill your mind with these subliminal messages that your skin isn’t enough. They make whiter sound so good with these ads and constant bigotry in beauty industries, that they make you believe that what you have isn’t special. White people know that dark is beautiful, but ages ago they realized that they wouldn’t be able to get young girls to believe that “whiter is better” if they didn’t whitewash us constantly through mainstream media. These people in our everyday lives who tell us darker is beautiful, are mind puppets, because they really believe that a skin shade makes a difference. They really believe that lighter skin is more feminine and healthy, but what they don’t know, is that there is no such difference, only the social standards we have set in our heads. And the sad part is, white people will continue to flaunt their skin and tear down any shade that is longer, so long as there is a beauty industry that worships eurocentric features. But what you need to do, is not play into society’s hand and look up beauty of your own. Search ways to style curly hair instead of just how to style hair, search beautiful darker skinned girls then just beautiful girls, search cosmetics that go well with your skin tone and embrace your beauty. Embrace your features and fall in love with yourself, because no one else is going to do it. so cherish what you do have, and flaunt your natural beauty..
Omg, calm down. I bet that most of these people that are trying to use these methods want to either even out their skin tone or to get rid of tans produced from too much sun exposure. Plus, you won’t turn white if that’s not your natural skin color…

Turmeric And Lemon Juice Facial Mask:
1 tablespoon of gram flour (or chickpea, garbanzo bean or besan flour and can be found at an Indian grocery store)
1 teaspoon turmeric (can be found at an Indian grocery store or on amazon.com )
A few drops of lemon juice (add more if your skin is oily/acne-prone)
Milk
Mix together the flour and turmeric until they are throughly mixed. Add the lemon juice to the mix. Slowly add milk until a creamy paste is formed. Apply the paste to your clean face and neck. Let the mask sits there for 15-20 minutes, until your skin feels tight. Wash the mask off with warm water and a washcloth. (Tip – as yellow pigment of the turmeric can stain your clothes, so dedicate a washcloth for your turmeric mask.) Splash your face and neck with cold water before patting dry.

Without protection, the sun will cause your skin to darken, because oxidation of melanin near the skin surface is activated by UV rays, rendering the skin appear tan.
To avoid sunburn and skin darkening, you need to use a water-resistant, broad-spectrum sunscreen that guards against both UVA and UVB rays. Without proper shield, your skin could darken, burn or develop age spots and wrinkles prematurely.

How many calamamsi should i use on replacement of Lemon?
@Ace:
Calamansi is high in vitamin C, and its juice can be a good vitamin source. It can be used for skin whitening. After several applications, as an exfoliant, it helps to whiten the skin.
You can use the old-fashion way of using calamansi though. Just rub it on your skin or problem areas once or twice a day and your skin will actually lighten. Of course scrubbing while taking a bath and moisturizing after shower is also important to make the skin glow. Calamansi removes dead skin cells from your skin when you exfoliate and you make it glow when you apply moisturizer every day.
Thank you for the tips
Hi,
I have been using ground almond and milk to get a smooth skin recently. It has been working so far.
And I also have been using a paste of turmeric powder, sandal powder and green bean powder mixture for years as a face scrub and wash (tips from my indian mum). It gives me a fresh face and helps in exfoliating. After reading this article… i added lime juice to turmeric paste. I apply both paste at different time. Now, as my schedule is getting really busy, I wonder whether can I mix all these ingredients one shot to make ONE paste and apply? (i.e; turmeric powder, sandal powder, green bean powder, lime juice, milk and ground almond) And does lime has the same effect in skin lightening as lemon? Thank you!. Great tips…
Regards,
Caxantra
@caxantra:
Thanks for sharing your beauty tips.
(i) Yes, you can mix all these ingradients in one go and apply. Instead of milk, you can use milk powder.
(ii) You can use lime or lemon. Both will give you good results.
Hello. Can I use any kind of milk like milk powder with water or lo-fat milk alone?
Hello. Can I use any kind of milk alone?
@ Kat B :
It depends on the objective for which you want to use milk.
For the purpose of lightening skin, don’t use milk powder. You can use any other fresh milk. If your skin is dry, use full fat milk. If it’s oily you should use low-fat milk.
And for how to use, the method is very clearly stated in the article,
can i use turmeric-lemon paste on my face?
@ Lincy:
Yes, you can do that. But take care, as turmeric powder can leave yellow stains.
Turmeric powder when combined with lemon juice produces a doubly powerful anti-oxidant paste that results in a glowing , even and youthful complexion. Best is you use this Turmeric-Lemon Juice Facial Mask:
You will need:
(i) 1 tablespoon of gram flour (also goes by chickpea, garbanzo bean or besan flour and can be found at an Indian grocery store or at Whole Foods)
(ii) 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (can be found at an Indian grocery or on amazon.com)
(iii) Few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice (add more if skin is oily/acne-prone)
(iv) Milk (whole milk if your skin is dry)
Mix well the flour and turmeric together. Add in the lemon juice and stir well. While stirring, slowly add in milk until you get a creamy paste. Apply the mask on to your clean face and neck. Keep the mask on for 15-20 minutes, until your skin feels tight. Rinse the mask off with water and a washcloth. (Caution: the yellow pigment of turmeric will stain the cloth, so you may want to dedicate a washcloth for your turmeric mask) Splash your face and neck with cold water, and pat dry. If you feel your skin is getting dry, apply a light moisturizer.

Try to use DermalMD Serum for Make Skin Lighter it’s very effective. It is on the strong side, so be cautious on lighter more tender skin. However, I think it is very good and use it every other day. The darker sun spots on my cheek are lightening very quickly and I am very happy with this product.
Hi,
First of all, I’m really grateful to your share.
I want to ask you for an advice. I have used the red bean to whiten the skin for a long time. But now, I want to blend it with green tea powder and lemon together and use this mixture?
Thank u very much 🙂
@ Gin:
You can brighten skin with red beans. The effect can be seen if the method is applied consistently.
Red beans contain protein, potassium and iron, which help in making skin more firm, naturally white, and especially strong but not pale like using other whitening lotion. If you use them regularly, your skin will not be afraid of being chloasma when exposed to sunlight.
And yes, you can blend red beans with green tea powder and lemon and use the mixture to lighten your skin.
hello.
I am a 20 years boy.. I was born white but since 3 years I have become a bit dark coz of too much exposure to sunlight.. so can u plz suggest me the best remedy… and can i use the combination of only lemon and turmeric??
@ Basit:
When turmeric powder is combined with lemon juice, this combo produces a doubly powerful antioxidiant paste that results in a gorgeous, even and youthful complexion. It brightens your skin as well. If you want you can use this facial mask for best results:
You will need:
1 tablespoon of gram flour (also goes by chickpea, garbanzo bean or besan flour and can be found at an Indian grocery store or at Whole Foods)
1 teaspoon turmeric (can be found at an Indian grocery or on amazon.com)
A few drops of lemon juice (add more if skin is oily/acne-prone or to brighten your skin)
Milk
Combine the flour and turmeric powder together until it well-mixed. Add the lemon juice and stir well. Slowly add milk until a creamy paste is formed. Apply the mask onto your clean skin – face and neck. Let it sit for 20-25, until your skin feels tight. Wash the mask off with warm water and a washcloth. (Warning – the yellow pigment will stain the cloth, so you may want to dedicate a washcloth for any turmeric mask.) Splash your face and neck with cold water before patting dry. Apply your favorite moisturizer.
Hi, I came acroos your site and I think its great with a hint of fresh air.
I am trying to brighten my skin. I am dark black african, I have tried a few of the creams, but the results are not permanent.
I dont want to bleach just lighten my face so that its uniform with the rest on my body. I love my skin type but when I’m exposed to the sun, it starts looking black which I dont like.
Can you give me a few natural ingredients I could try which will give me a radiant lighter dark brown complexion. Thanks
@ Charlie:
The so called bleaching agents damage your skin with time. Instead of worrying too much about your dark black skin color, try to make it GLOW! Just take care of your skin, cleanse, tone, use sunscreen, moisturize and you should be ok.
Having said that, here are home-made facial pack treatments for skin lightening, such as like Gram Flour Pack, Orange Peel and Yogurt / Curd Pack, etc. You can use such type of face masks. They will definitely help you out.

@ Aparna:

Can you put lemon juice in a bath to help lighten your skin after being in the sun?
@ Suni:
Sure you can…but keep a gap of about 30 minutes and do it in moderation…lemon is an astringent, so it removes excess oils…plus it is anti bacterial….just 1/2 freshly squeezed lemon juice to your bath…soak in it for at least 20 minutes…
Hello
Can i leave the mixture of turmeric and yogurt on my skin overnight?
@ Asha:
Don’t leave turmeric powder on your skin overnight. It will stain your skin and clothes. Simply take 2 teaspoons of yogurt, ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder and a little quantity of honey. Mix them together and stir thoroughly. Apply this mask on the face for ½ hour and rinse it off.
Thank you for your reply. Can i soak fresh turmeric instead of powder with milk to use it. Is it ok to use just milk and turmeric mixture without using lemon to lighten my skin?
@ Asha:
(i) If you want to use fresh turmeric for skin topical application then blend it completely with the other mask ingredients until you get a smooth mixture.
(ii) If you want to use milk and turmeric, here is a better way to do this. Make a turmeric and milk drink. It’s a very effective home remedy to fight hazardous environmental toxins and harmful microorganisms. Along with this you can use any of the above natural remedies to lighten your skin. This combination will not only lighten your skin, but will make your skin look healthy, glowing and radiant. Here is a recipe for healthy turmeric milk drink:
Take 1 inch turmeric piece and boil it for 15 minutes in milk. Strain out the turmeric. Cool and drink this milk.
my cheeks are fair n around mi lips n under my eyes are dark and my chin too is dark…if I apply e lemon all over mi face.. I guess mi face complexion will still be uneven

Hello, I am 13 and I am really worried about my darkend skin. I am Asian and my normal skin tone is medium to light brown,but my face and hand/arm is about 2 to3 shades darker maybe because of sun tan. I want my skin tone to become lighter, is lemon juice going to give me the results I want and how long may using lemon take?
Which is the best method for me to lighten my skin?
I also have oily and kind of sensitive skin
@anne:
Use the remedy number 5 – that is Lemon-Turmeric cream to lighten your skin dark color. Before using if first time just do a patch test on your skin to see whether it irritates your skin. If it does not, then apply this remedy regularly – if possible every day. Home remedies take a little longer time to show results. Have patience, and apply if for 6-8 weeks and you will start seeing improvement, and then there after 1 to 2 times a week.
Thank you, I just have one important question,in September school will be starting and for the first one two months it’s going to be very sunny so would it work if I use lemon on my on the week days and lemon turmeric cream on Friday and Saturday . Would this take lightening my skin longer?
However if I use the leamon turmeric cream all the time even on week days for how long do I have to wait until I can go out side?
Than k you….however wat should be the amount of lemon juice and turmeric for the face mask? And also how long will I have to stay away from sun exposure after applying the mask?
@anne:
(i) Mix freshly squeezed lemon juice and turmeric powder in such proportions that they make together a spreadable paste.
(ii) After washing off a mask containing lemon juice, you should wait for 15-20 minutes before you go out in the sun.
@ anne:
When you apply lemon-turmeric cream, keep it on your skin for 15-20 minutes, and then wash it off. My suggestion would be to apply on the week-ends and after washing it off completely, you can go out in sun after 20 minutes.
On week days you can use remedy no. 2 (a) every day. You can go out 20 minutes after rinsing the lemon juice off your face completely.
Note: To protect your skin from sun-tan, use umbrella or wear a broad brimmed hat.
You will see the positive results in 2-3 weeks.
Good luck!!
Thank u……is it OK that instead of using powdered turmeric I use organic turmeric…..that does make the mask total liquid but still applyable
And do u think that I should continue to use the lemon turmeric mask only till school starts then after school starts I use lemon turmeric on weekend s and only lemon on weekdays
@ anne:
(i) You can use organic turmeric.
(ii) Use lemon turmeric mask on week ende and lemon on week days. That’s enough……….
hi! i will be making a mixture of aloevera gel,olive oil,lemon,honey,coconut oil and eggwhite..so will the combination of these products work well? also can i store this mixture in a jar without it getting putrid? in order to prevent it from getting rancid which one of the aforementioned products should i not add to the mixture?
@ameema:
You can combine all the ingredients together and use the mixture as a face mask.Lemon juice and egg white have short shelf life. So if you want you can store the mixture left behind in a refrigerator, but don’t use it when it starts smelling bad.
if i put 5 lemons in my bath water will my whole body get lighter
@ samantha:
Please don’t expect that you can change the skin-color of your whole body dramatically. Instead try to eat skin-healthy foods to have a heathy, radiant and glowing whole body skin.
Read this article: https://naturalbeautytips.co/best-foods-for-healthy-skin/
You will look attractive if you have healthy and glowing skin – even if it’s dark in color.
can lime juice,dried orange peel and powdered milk work in a short while
@ shania:
Yes, you can use the above three ingredients. But, why don’t you use fresh milk?
Peel oranges and place these peels to dry out in the sun for few days, until they become rock-hard. Break and then grind them in to a powder. Keep it in an airtight container (this powder can be stored in an air-tight container for a whole year). Take required orange peel powder and blend with milk and lemon juice into a smooth paste of desired consistency. Message gently onto your face and neck and keep for ½ an hour. When the pack dries up, wash with water with a little scrubbing motion and pat dry your skin.
If you have an acne-prone skin, use water/rose water instead of milk.
This pack will start brightening your skin in few weeks time.

Hi Chandni 🙂
I stumbled across your site and it is a delight. I want to commend you for TRYING to encourage others to love their original skin color no matter what it is: from the palest ivory to the deepest ebony. It is true, every skin color can be beautiful if it glows and that takes a healthy diet, gentle care, clean water, deep breathing, exercise, and a positive mindset. Glowing dark skin is much more beautiful that unhealthy light skin and the good news is that everyone, light,dark, and everything in between can glow! It is one thing to use these techniques to recover original color, but if you use these techniques to CHANGE your color, you will have to use them forever; then you become a slave to these things.
Idea to all readers: when you see someone with beautiful glowing skin (no matter the color or shade) compliment them. Let others know that they are beautiful. Be a part of teaching them that God made diversity and it’s ALL good. When people receive compliments on their true attributes, they will be more proud of them and less likely to want to change them.
Challenge to all readers: love yourself and who you really are. Yes, be beautiful and strive to take care of yourself, but be proud of your TRUE self. If you have beautiful (healthy, glowing) light skin, celebrate it while appreciating the diveristy of your fellow man. If you have gorgeus (healthy,glowing) dark skin, flaunt it while also appreciating your fellow man.
This is the true secret to beauty 🙂

How about mixing some drops of lime juice in virgin cocunut oil and using it on your prewash face..is it useful for skin lightning and to get rid of pimple marks ?
@ harsh:
Mix 1 tablespoon of virgin coconut oil with freshly squeezed lemon juice of 1/4th lemon. While lemon juice will naturally bleach the skin and lighten it, the coconut oil will moisturize and prevent any blemishes. Mix them well and massage the mixture gently onto your pre-washed face using your clean fingers. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes, and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Wipe the skin dry using a wash cloth.
Hi if I drink turmeric milk will my skin get lighter over time?
Plain milk can create some stomach problems hence turmeric + milk will be a healthy drink and it kills germs and create resistance. You can mildly add pepper also. So, it can solve internal problems of our body if we drink it.
For external use you can apply a paste of turmeric, flour and yogurt (this paste is called batna) to your face, arms and legs and massage lightly. This will make your skin lighter, and people swear by it.
How does it lighten skin when it’s on your skin for such a short time?
can I keep the lemon and honey paste on skin for for whole night.
@ jane:
Honey is a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. It absorbs impurities from the pores and the skin. You can use honey as a wash, toner or mask. And you can mix it with so many other ingredients depending on your needs (lemon juice, apples, pumpkin, papaya, yogurt). It’s quite versatile.
Lemon brightens and exfoliates. It’s great for acne prone skin, age and sun spots or uneven skin tone. It is also a natural source of vitamin C and rich in alpha hydroxy acids.
You can try this DIY Honey/ Lemon Mask:
Squeeze 1/2 a lemon (organic is always better) into a bowl, add 1 tbsp. of honey (0rganic, raw, natural). Mix it until it’s a liquid consistency. Apply it all over a clean face avoiding eye area. Also make sure that your hair is pulled back away from your face as the mask is rather sticky! Leave on for 15-20 min and rinse off. If you’re feeling really adventurous, try and sleep with it on.
How does it lighten your skin when it’s only kept on your skin for a few minutes a day?

These are the minimum times for busy people. You can increase the time. Apply these remedies and see how they do their magic..

I just had this crazy idea, but can I put lemon juice in my bath?
I know, I would need a lot of lemons but will it work the same?
@ Brishti:
Lemon bath is particularly refreshing in hot weather. The healing agents in lemons refresh & revitalize tired skin. Lemons also work to cool the skin, and help tighten large pores.
Lemon Bath Recipe: Squeeze and drop 5-6 lemons into your bath water. Soak & relax.
How to apply that lemon & turmeric solution for your face ? Like what quantity of lemon juice & turmeric should be mixed to be applied at a time and can we apply it twice a day…& can i get results in 25 days? My skin colour is originally very white & fair….but it has turned brown gradually.
Thnx for your help , waiting for your reply
@ Jay:
How TO Use Turmeric and Lemon Juice Mix: Make a face mask by mixing turmeric powder with some freshly squeezed lemon juice to form a thick paste. Alternatively you can mix the powder with cucumber juice instead of lemon. Apply the paste on your face and the skin on other parts, even the area affected by pigmentation.
Let the mixture stay for about 15 minutes to dry before rinsing off with water. Regularly on a daily basis, this 15 minute mask will help in the removal of black spots, patches, even out your skin tone and lighten your skin. It is also suitable for fading and whitening of dark underarms.
You will see the difference in few weeks time.
Can i get fair skin by applying aloevera pulp on my face ? & by drinking turmeric milk daily??
If yes, then how much time will it take to atleast get 2 shades fair skin? My skin colour is originally fair & white, but now its has turned very dark . It would be helpful if u help me with the above things?
@ Jay:
I have come across many people who ask me can aloe vera gel lighten skin.
My answer is, yes. Aloe vera plant contains a naturally occurring enzyme and many other nutrients that help to revive your skin cells, make your skin glow brighter and it’s also useful for treating dark skin spots. It does not need a lot of preparation, you just have to pluck a fresh leaf and apply its gel on your skin Here’s how to use aloe vera for skin whitening:
Cut a fresh leaf of aloe vera plant. Choose one that is the most succulent. Cut out the outer layers to remove the skin of the leaf. Squeeze out the gel into a container, which is the thick jelly-like substance. Apply the gel on your skin by rubbing it gently, leaving it on for about 30 minutes. Rinse off with cool water. Repeat the procedure every day for getting a fair skin, removing dark spots and other blemishes.
Regarding your other question, some people claim that drinking turmeric milk helps to get rid of suntan and it also lightens dark skin. I have not tried this remedy. But if you like you can try it, as it has many health benefits also.
Please feel free to share your experience with us after trying the above remedies.
Thanks for this great article! I wanna put lemon on my skin everyday but I find out that lemons are too acidic and can dry out your skin. I read online that it is not advisable to put pure lemon on your skin directly especially on your face. I just wanna ask if I can put lemon with other ingredients like honey, brown sugar, olive oil etc.. on my skin everyday? Does putting lemon with other ingredients can minimize the effect of the acidity of lemons? And so it is fine to put it on skin everyday or should I put lemon with other ingredients once every other day? I hope you’ll respond. Thank you.
@ Diana:
Mixing lemon with other ingredients does delute its acidity effect. Yes, you can try to put freshly squeezed lemon juice after mixing it with other ingredients every day on your face. However, be sure to watch it for few days, how your skin is reacting…
Hai, my skin normal dark. How can I get a lighten face in few days ?
@ nivitus:
There is no magic to lighten skin in few days. Apply these remedies consistently. Your skin will start improving in a couple of months..
lemon mask and light hot water is good for skin health.
Hi,
I want to know that what happen when soap is used after turmeric mask?
@ Shweta:
No, I won’t advise you to use a soap bar. Simply use a mild cleanser (if you must), and then moisturize your face.
I’ve been using Dermalmd Lightening Serum for roughly a month. I’m a mature woman with some “liver” spotting. I find that the serum has brightened my skin. People say I look good. The part about fading the spots, however, might take more time to prove true. Right now I see a little bit of fading, but I continue to apply the serum every morning after cleaning my face, neck and a little below, plus hands and some of the forearm. This serum seems to go a long way because I only apply small amounts and then work it into the skin. I can recommend it because it definitely brightens the skin.
am i ablee to use aloe vera after sun lotion to lighten up my skin yes or no?
@ tiffanyy:
Don’t use aloe vera after sun lotion. For best results apply it after washing your face with lukewarm water and stay at home while it’s on your face. Rinse it after half an hour.

How often should I use these remedies? How often should I apply the washcloth with milk?
@ N:
You can use washcloth with milk every day.
Recelty I got Dermalmd Lightening Serum for use on my hands and it’s working! They always say that the hands are the give away on a woman’s age. My hands looked very nice EXCEPT for those “liver spots”. I’ve been using Dermalmd Lightening Serum for two weeks and with this product I have to say that they are getting lighter each and every day. I keep it by my computer and apply it a couple of times a day and am loving the results!!

Hello mam.!! What about curd mixed with gram flour will that help me to reduce my tan ?
@ Jenny:
You can use curd mixed with gram flour (besan) to reduce tan. For better results, use this remedy:
Mix 4 teaspoon of gram flour (besan), 1 teaspoon of yogurt and a pinch of turmeric powder to make a smooth paste. Apply it all over your clean face, neck and other parts of your body as you desire. Once the pack gets dry, sprinkle some cool water onto your face and gently remove the pack by scrubbing in clockwise and anti-clockwise direction. It will reduce tan and also make your skin smooth, radiant. Repeat this procedure daily for best results.
Gram flour or besan is very useful in treating sun tan. It helps to remove dead skin cells and leaves skin young and bright. Turmeric makes the skin glow. The lactic acid present in milk helps to remove tan.

Maam…i had a very fair tone at my childhood…as i ws grwng i had lost it….so plz suggest wt to do to achieve white cmplxn for whole body
@ Jyoti:
On your shower sponge or loofa apply lemon juice mixed with sugar and rub it all over your body. Lemon juice is a natural bleach and the sugar will exfoliate your skin. Then rinse. Caution: Do this only at night time or don’t go into the sunlight after doing this because you might get a bad sunburn. And after doing this apply a lotion. Hopefully, after using this trick for few weeks your skin will lighten up.
can i use lemon + honey combination once daily to brighten skin ?
@krit:
Yes..
Using a lemon only is more effective or given lemon mask with honey etc has the same effect for skin lightening?
@ Ansh:
You can use a variation of lemon masks with other natural ingredients having skin friendly properties for lightening your skin.
Hi, does lemon juice have to be fresh or will bottled ktc lemon juice also work over time ?
Bottled lemon juice contains additives. So, I never recommend it. Use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Where can I get Chamomile flowers? Because I do not know the flower yet.
You can buy online from amazon…
I use lemon on face so many times.no effect at all
