Alternative Treatment for Fair Skin

Traditionally, fair skin has been perceived as more attractive than dark skin. For people who want fair skin, being dark can be a source of great embarrassment and unhappiness. In addition, dark skin also tends to be patchy and makes your skin look blemished.

You could have dark because you suffer from hyper-pigmentation or because you simply have a higher amount of melanin in your skin than other people. The main causes of dark skin include heredity, skin disorders, and being in direct sunlight without any protection.

To make your skin lighter, you can mix some gram flour with some milk and whole cream into a smooth paste.

Apply this on your face and all over your body and allow it to dry completely. Once it is dry, rub it off your body. You can also place slices of raw, peeled potato all over your face to help you reduce the marks on your face. Lime juice is a naturally occurring bleach and you could mix it with some turmeric and apply to your face and body. You should drink plenty of water and ensure that you flush the toxins from your system. Also, ensure that you apply a skin lotion with a high SPF when you go out into the sun to protect your skin from darkening. Wearing long sleeved clothes when you are out in the sun is also beneficial.
