Step 1
Begin with the lemon method. Cut a lemon in half and rub it onto the area of your skin you wish to lighten. Rinse the area with warm water. Now take a dampened loofah sponge and gently rub over the area. The loofah will exfoliate (remove) all the dead cells from your skin. These dead cells are also the first layer of your skin, which is the darkest. Now rinse the area once more. Repeat the process until you achieve the desired effect.

Step 2
Prepare a gel of cucumber juice. Cut up a cucumber into slices. Place about three of these slices into a blender or chopper. Using a clean makeup brush, apply the juice onto the areas of your skin you wish to lighten. Allow the juice to set onto your skin overnight. Wash off the dried juice in the morning.

Step 3
Mix 2 tbsp. of yogurt and a splash of orange juice. Stir for 1 minute. If the mixture looks extremely runny, stir it for a minute longer. Place the mixture on your skin. Keep it on for 10 minutes--long enough for it to set. Rinse off the mixture with warm water.

Step 4
Make a mask-like mixture using an egg white, 3 tbsp. of lemon juice and 1 tbsp. of olive juice. Apply to the areas of the skin you wish to lighten. Allow the mixture to sit on the skin for 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Step 5
Apply a mask-like mixture to skin that's made from flour (the bleached type that is used for cooking) and enough milk to achieve a pasty consistency. Apply the mixture onto the area you want to lighten. Allow it to set for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse off the mixture with warm water.
