2. Making your own skin whitening at home isn't the first thing that
comes to mind when you consider a skin whitening treatment. It
is way more obvious to go pay the dermatologist a visit, take your
prescription and head to the closest drug store. If you have to
remove a dark spot, he may advise you to use laser technology to
remove it, in which case it's not the drug store but the clinic. No
matter the nature of your skin issues, this whole process takes
time and costs money. The worst part is you don't have much
control over the results because you don't really know what you
are paying for. You just trust your doctor, and most of the time
you are right to do so. Or maybe you don't even go to the doctor
and pick your own skin lightening products, which is undoubtedly
a risky approach for your health and could leave you with
undesirable side effects.
3. But what if there was a better way to lighten your skin? A faster,
more effective and less expensive way? Natural skin whitening
treatments are best for several reasons. And it is not as
complicated as you might think to follow a great treatment in the
comfort of your home. In fact, is it very easy to make your own
cream at home, and there are many simple cream recipes
available to help you achieve the results you are looking for in
whitening your skin or getting rid of uneven skin pigmentation.
These home-made creams are made of fruits, vegetables, leaves,
seeds and other natural products that you may already have in
your kitchen pantry.
4. Honey
Honey is highly recommended in the prevention of skin conditions
and can be found in several natural skin whitening recipes. In
fact, honey is known for its anti-septic properties and contains
skin-preserving anti-oxidants. It is great for:
Treating and preventing acne
Creating a glow because it is extremely moisturizing and soothing
Clarifying skin by opening up pores, making them easy to unclog
Slowing down aging with its powerful anti-oxidants
It can be mixed with other ingredients to make skin whitening
creams but can also be used alone in many different ways: mask,
cleanser, exfoliator, or even bath.
5. Milk
Powdered milk is a great ingredient when it comes to skin
lightening creams. Due to some enzymes it contains, milk is first
an excellent exfoliator: it effectively removes the pigmented dead
skin cells at the surface of your skin, which restores the even
tone of your skin and helps lighten it. Milk is also an excellent
cleanser and moisturizer like honey. It gives you more balanced
skin, cleaning oily skin and yet providing moisturizing elements
in dry skin. The benefits of milk can treat and prevent skin spots
and irritations, and make your skin look more and more radiant.
6. Lemon
Lemon juice is a base ingredient for many skin whitening creams
and products in general. When used regularly, lemon juice
applied on your skin will help you get a smooth complexion
thanks to its exfoliating properties, and diminishing
discolorations due to scars, age spots or other skin disorders.
Mixed with other ingredients, it really is effective to whiten your
skin fast so you should absolutely have it close by when you are
making your home-made skin lightening cream.
7. Turmeric
Turmeric is a spice that is commonly used in India for many
purposes. Not only does it give taste and color to many indian
dishes, it is also known for its powerful cosmetic properties.
Among those properties, it inhibitates effectively the excessive
secretion of melanine, the substance that gives skin its dark
color, when you've been exposed to the sun too long for example.
It can restore skin to its fair white coloration when applied
regularly on the face and other parts of the body.
8. How do I make the skin whitening cream?
These 4 ingredients, and others like tomato or oatmeal, are great
for whitening skin fast and naturally. But you can't just mix them
in a bowl in unknown proportions and hope for the right results.
As I described, natural ingredients have many skin care benefits.
You will want to focus on recipes that are dedicated to whitening
your skin fast, which are specific. For example, Lemon and
Turmeric are a powerful combination and very effective at
lightening your skin.
