Skin Whitening Remedies: It is almost a craze among the teenagers and women these days to have a lighter complexion. Among these people, some may experience imbalanced skin tone, such as darker complexion on the neck, but fairer on the face. While the rest just deal with pigmentation issues caused by sunburn. Generally, prolonged exposure to sun can make one’s skin go dark, dull and dry. Also, prolonged use of some chemical products can result in the same manner.
We all know that that are numerous skin whitening creams available in the market these days- literally at every drug store and parlor you go to. You get these products at just about any budget. In fact, the tele is flooded with adverts that urge you try fancy products that have large claims. But, do not be fooled! 60% of the products that have tall claims are loaded with chemicals, and are sure to harm the skin in the long run. Now, I am not saying that all of the products are harmful, some may work and some may not. But it is best that you avoid products that claim to work overnight for they might trigger side effects like acne breakout, dullness, and uneven skin tone.
Whatever the case may be, especially when it concerns the skin, natural remedies are the way to go! They are mild on the skin and give you although not exact, but certainly incredible results that you have been looking for. Having said that, here are few skin whitening home remedies that are really effective in lightening your skin. Not only are these affordable, but they are also easily available at home and work wonders in lightening your skin. However, note that these remedies will work only to some extent, to bring out your natural skin color instead of bleaching it. These remedies work well to eliminate prolonged sunburn too. Read on for more!

Also try organic Ceylon Cinnamon and organic honey. Cinnamon is a well known skin whitener for those who are not afraid of a little hotness and itchiness. Scrub it on and leave it on for about 5 minutes at first, then gradually increase the time. Cinnamon helps draw blood to the skin surface, helping it fight an skin bacteria and also plumps up the skin for glowing look. The powerful anti bacterial properties of cinnamon and honey also helps fight skin surface bacteria.

I have been using lemon+honey mask for nearly 1 year.But since now I have’nt seen any effects on my skin.I’m having oily skin.Please give me some tips to lighten my skin tone.
Keerthana Nair
Hi Anura. Chances are that your current skin tone is natural. Whitening remedies can only be used to alleviate dark tone triggered by sunburn, dullness and dryness. You might want to opt for organic, plant based whitening products though, they are usually effective and safe to use compared to the other whitening products out there.

Keerthana Nair
Hello Adeel. If I am to personally recommend you a remedy, I would certainly ask you to try the gram flour remedy ( num 6). If you have a dry skin, add in a tablespoon of curd. For oily skin, you may add in a tablespoon of lime juice. But either way, this remedy works great!

My baby is white when I gave birth to him till after his birthday that i relocate to kaduna (northern part of Nigeria) his face, neck, hand and leg are dark and i don’t want to use any chemical (cream) to whiten it have tried honey and lemon but it doesn’t work for him please what can I use
Keerthana Nair
Hi Binta, If honey and lemon did not work for him, chances are you might want to give him some time. Or get it checked with a doctor, just to make sure it is not caused by any medical conditions.
Also, in most cases, fair babies are likely to get darker as they grow up. May I know how old is your baby now?

The duration or gap between consumption of tomato with other foods after that should not be a problem. But however, you might not want to eat tomato on an empty stomach as it is said to trigger gastric for some.

Keerthana Nair
Hi Pallavi, based on my knowledge, natural bleaching do not have any side effects. But however, you might not want to overdo the remedy.
Keep the routine moderate. If results are not visible even after 6 months of usage, clearly it’s due to the natural skin color.
Pallavi
Thank you so much , mam it have a visible result in just 2 to 3 days but mine face become dry after applying it whether i use moistriser or not my skin is oily still it becomes dry what the reason mam..thanks:-)
Keerthana Nair
Hi Pallavi, welcome back to HNBT. The dryness may be caused by the lemon juice. Try substituting it with tomato juice or baking soda.

But after that small dark mask is appearing on the Swallowed part. Can you suggest some home remedy which will remove the dark mask. Your reply will be appreciated. Thank you..!!
Keerthana Nair
Hi Sandeep, it really depends on what type of mark it is. How long has it been since the fall?
Try massaging with any ointment first. The remedies here will not be suitable for use on babies.
sama
hi dear keerthana, i am a 26 yr old female, i am suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome since 2010 l, my hormones are rarely in control as a result of which my skin tends to change color within no time, i have a wheatish complexion but i rarely get to see ma real skin color as i usually appear dark and what makes it worse are these stubborn dark circles, I have a combination skin, kindly suggest me a remedy to manage dark circles and retain my natural color and how i can maintain it…
Keerthana Nair
Hi Sama, try out remedies number 3 and 6, they work greatly without drawing out moisture fro the skin. Leon juice alone will also give you the desired result, but however will not be suitable for dry skin.
As for your dark circles, you may stick to plain lemon juice. Refer to the link below for more remedies:

After the lot of research i got DermalMD Skin Lightening Serum I have big expectations for this skin lightening serum & so far it is living up to them! I’ve only been using it a few weeks but I can already see that some of my dark spots are lightening & my pores have gotten smaller. I hope that as I continue to use this it will help with my acne scars as well. I did notice that it dried my skin out a little, but that was easily solved. Now I apply it, let it dry, & then apply my moisturizer & have no problems.

I have some dark spots on my face from tanning and wanted to see if Dermalmd lightening serum would help lighten them. Since I started using dermalmd I have noticed that they are starting to lighten. I did not really have high expectations for dermalmd so I was surprised when I started to see some results. I also have not started breaking out as I have very sensitive skin. The serum is not too thick and doesn’t have much of a smell. Overall I really like dermalmd.

Hi Amara, try using lemon in combination with yogurt. This should work well your your skin without causing any side effects.

I WANT FAIR AND GLOWING SKIN PERMANENTLY

Shagufta, it is hard to say if these remedies will give you a permanent fair skin. But they should work to some extent. Good luck!
Dipak Patil
Hey ..I have an oily skin ..I got severe pimples on my face then my dermatologist recommended me oratane ..I used it for 90 days and then after a month those pimples start coming again ..and scars are remain there .please help me fix this problem ..and tell me how to lighten my skin
Keerthana Nair
Hi Dipak, perhaps you should get back to your doctor about it. But in terms of home remedies, we suggest you to try remedies that can get rid of excessive oils, like Apple cider vinegar, or egg white mask. Lemon juice works well in getting rid of excessive oils as well as dark spots, yet some skin can be highly sensitive to it, hence please do talk to your doctor about it.

Ma, pls I want body and face homemade whitening cream that I will use or how will I get the dernuva skin lightning in Nigeria? Or how will I mix/prepare it by myself at home?
Keerthana Nair
Hi, we do not have recipes for any homemade whitening creams. But you surely can opt for plain lemon or lime juice, or milk and turmeric. Whichever that you can get. Follow up with the remedy on daily basis until you are happy with the results. Good luck!

Ever
Is it ok if I put lemon juice alone on my face? Has anyone tried this before? If so, should I leave it on overnight or wash after 20-30 minutes?
Thankx to all
Keerthana Nair
Hi Ever, it is completely fine to apply lemon juice on your face. If your skin is sensitive, consider diluting it with some milk or honey. You shouldn’t leave it overnight, 20-30 minutes o your face or until it dries will do.

I am all about DIY, I have been trying the pure pearl powder mask for 1 week now and I am absoluetly wowed by the results. I mix 1 teaspoon of pure pearl powder, egg white,honey and apply it on my cleansed skin.Wait until it dries and wash it off, it gives me a soft silky skin, I also moisturize my face with pure organ oil and a pinch of pure pearl powder and my face looks beautiful all day.I use Bragg Apple cider vinegar with “the mother” daily as i have oily skin and this helps with giving me a clear skin.Rice powder,oatmeal powder mixed with honey and lemon do wonders for your skin as a scrub and as good whittening agents.

Hi Guru, use these remedies on your neck alone, until it matches your face skin. Applying lemon juice to your neck daily would do the trick. Good luck!

Would ketchup work if I don’t have tomato juice? Thanks!
Keerthana Nair
Hi there, I am afraid ketchup would make a bad substitute. You could opt for lemon juice, or potato juice.
Aashi

pallavi sahu
hello
i m applying lemon juice, gramflour and turmeric facepack, and also mulatani mitti facepack regularly on my face.
but i m not getting any kind of result.
plz suggest. i have a tanned skin plz suggest
Keerthana Nair
Hi Pallavi, this is most likely because your skin is naturally tanned. It surely cannot be changed, not with home remedies. But you could still try plain lemon juice with baking soda, let us know if it works for you.
adent

For severe cases, it is best that you stick to medications. You can try Vitamin E oil, and some yogurt. Make sure to test on one patch of your skin first.
Mazin
Which is the best remedy in the above which gives fast results and is very effective?
Sarah
Rose water helps acne, helps maintain the ph balance of your skin, reduces puffiness, redness and soothes skin conditions ( Sunburn, Eczema). Your face feels fresh and the lingering rose aroma will uplift your mood. In the summer, I put it in the fridge and spritz often…love it!

Farahin Nordin
Dont tumeric will make ur skin yellowish if u leave it on a few minute? I always use tumeric in my cooking and my finger will turn yellowish after i handle that ingredient.
Keerthana Nair
Hi Farahin, it does tint your skin a little. Be sure not to include too much of it. Or you could always opt for the other type of turmeric powder- Kasturi turmeric, the one that is specially used on face. 🙂 Hope this helps!
