Many cosmetic products like BB creams, Tinted lotions, Moisturizers etc claim to provide instant fairness. But all of these products lighten your skin only for a short duration. Fairness cannot be achieved overnight and one has to take care of one’s skin regularly to achieve the desired natural fairness. For instant glowing natural and fair skin, always keep these mantras in mind: a. Follow the CTM (cleansing, toning and moisturising) routine daily. b. Exfoliate your skin at least twice a week. This will help to remove the dead cells and open pores, thus lightening your skin tone. c. Always use sunscreen 20 minutes before stepping out from home. A good sunscreen with SPF 40 will help to prevent tan in the Indian climate. d. Drink adequate amount of water to keep your body and skin hydrated. A good night sleep is also very important for healthy and glowing skin. e. Indulge in home remedies like face packs and scrub for natural fairness. Here are some easy and quick skin lightening home remedies: 1. Lemon: Lemon is the best natural remedy for skin lightening. It helps to reduce the blemishes and dark spots. Rub fresh lemon juice over the darkened skin and leave it for 10 minutes. Wash off with cool water. Remember not to expose yourself to the sun, while doing this treatment. There is no way that you look for skin lightening tips and not find lemon on the list. You should be careful as lemon can cause irritation on the wounds and cuts. 2. Milk: Prepare a face pack by mixing 1 teaspoon of milk and 1 teaspoon of honey. Make a smooth paste and apply all over your face. Rub gently in circular motions and keep for 15 minutes. Use low fat milk if you have oily skin and full cream milk if you have dry skin. 3. Turmeric: This is an ingredient used by our ancestors and is still considered one of the best skin lightening agents. Prepare the mask by combining 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and 3 teaspoons of fresh lime juice. Apply over the exposed skin and keep for 15 minutes. You should be careful while using this pack, as turmeric can stain your clothes. People with sensitive skin can dilute the pack with a little amount of water. 4. Egg pack: Beat an egg till it’s fluffy and frothy. Apply on the face and keep it on till it dries off completely. Wash off with cool water. You can also add lemon juice or 2 drops of lavender oil or tea tree oil, to reduce the smell of the egg. A good beauty regime, healthy diet and proper exercise are the keys for getting healthy and glowing skin. Till then take care and keep it stylish!
