Reduce the Darkness of the Skin

If you were not born with fair skin, then nothing short of an entire body and skin transplant can make you "fair". This is a fact and there is simply no working around it. Moreover, you should not even try, since most methods that promise you fairness are harsh, chemical and basically dangerous to your skin in the long run.


It is better instead to just work towards having excellent skin tone. Of course, it is totally possible to lighten the darkness of your skin by a few shades. This can be done quite easily using home based remedial measures. In the process, your skin will also become fresh and glowing, since most of these methods will even out your skin tone to a very large extent. To begin with, make it a weekly ritual to exfoliate your face. This will enable efficient removal of dead skin cells from your face. It will also reveal fresh skin beneath, which will have an even and far better skin tone. You can use any exfoliating scrub that is available off the shelf for this purpose. It is preferable to use one that is suited to your skin type. After you exfoliate, you should use a natural toner to help with mildly bleaching your skin. You can use a tomato chopped in half, scrubbed all over the face. This would have to be done for about 2 to 4 minutes for best results and excellent effect.

You can also apply a paste made with sandalwood and cucumber juice to your skin. This will also help greatly to reduce darkness. Make it a point to always have sunscreen on your skin. This will help to reduce darkness by not allowing your skin to tan any more than it is already tanned. You should also be aware that one application of sun screen does not work effectively enough. You would have to apply it about five to six times during the day. Things like sweat and humidity will always work towards eroding the lotion away from the skin. also, make it a point to use a lotion that has an SPF of over 30, as anything less will not be as effective. You should also apply the lotion a good 15 minutes before stepping out into the sun. This will allow it to penetrate deeply into your skin and work more effectively. Try these practices for at least a month.
