How to Make a Natural Skin Lightener for the Face at Home

Face masks made of natural ingredients can help whiten skin through exfoliation.

Skin naturally becomes darker as a result of exposure to sunlight, and prolonged time in the sun can give you a heavy tan. Some people find this desirable, even spending money to artificially tan their skin, but others find lighter skin more attractive. You can naturally remove a tan and whiten your skin by a process known as exfoliation---the removal of outer, tanned layers of dead skin, revealing the lighter skin underneath.

Things You'll Need

• 1 tsp. powdered milk
• 1 tsp. honey
• 1 tsp. lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp. almond oil

Instructions

1. Mix 1 tsp. each of powdered milk, honey, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. almond oil. If more is needed, use larger quantities of the four ingredients, always using half as much almond oil as anything else.

2. Apply the mixture to the face, or any other part of the skin that you want lightened.

3. Wash the mixture off after 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat daily, until the skin is sufficiently fair.

Tips & Warnings

• Other natural substances can also be used to lighten skin. Some popular alternatives include oatmeal, cheese curd and tomato juice; graham flour, raw milk and lime juice; grated tomato and lime juice; ground almonds and milk; or even ground mint leaves.
