Homemade bleach to lighten the complexion
There are many ways to naturally lighten the complexion but a lemon and cucumber juice combination is a favorite amongst many naturopaths and beats even chemical bleaches hands down. Make a blend of equal quantities of lemon and cucumber juice in adequate parts and blend this mixture to a fine solution using a little rose water. Apart from this composition being an astringent, the pack also works effectively as a competent bleach. In the absence of cucumber juice tomato juice can be substituted. Tomato juice is rich in vitamin c which also helps to smoothen and soften the skins. Peeled potatoes that have been thinly sliced and placed on the face or areas where bleaching is required also works to a great extent.
Another homemade natural bleach agent is made using dried orange peels and milk. The dried peels should be dry enough to be ground to a fine powder. This powder should then be mixed with enough milk so as to make a thick paste. The paste must be applied onto the face and back and left to dry for around 30 minutes or till the time the face feels tight and dry. This application done on a regular basis will yield enhanced results in a week.
