These days pollution and stress make our skin look dull and dark. We always look out for beauty and skincare products to recover our skin’s glow and lighten skin tone. So much so that we tend to believe whatever we see on TV and read in magazines. We fall prey to the claims of the advertised products and think they will provide instant glow and fairness to our skin within a week. They are loaded with harsh chemicals and bleach and also not very pocket friendly. Such products may provide immediate results, but they are unhealthy for our skin and do more harm in the long run than good.
Skin Whitening Natural Face Mask Recipes For Different Skin Types
So, why not look at some skin-nourishing natural homemade face packs to lighten and brighten our skin? Read on here for three best natural face packs to lighten and brighten your skin, each for dry, oily and combination skin.
I have divided the ingredients into the dry and liquid mix to increase these masks’ storage life. You can mix and store the following dry ingredients in a completely dry air-tight container and add the liquid ingredients just before use.

(iii) Turmeric (Haldi Powder): 1 spoon
(iv) Licorice powder (Mulethi): 1 spoon

(i) Wash your face and pat dry.
(ii) Apply the face pack using upward movements, leaving it on until completely dry – this may take half an hour or so.
(iii) To remove, splash a generous amount of water on the face pack to make it soft. Gently scrub your face by massaging the wet face pack in circular motions to help remove the dead skin cells.
(iv) Rinse off the face pack, and pat dry with a soft tissue to prevent staining of the towels due to turmeric.
