There are many skin whitening cosmetics made from a lactic acid base, so it is an excellent option is to use one containing milk you have at home. Just pour a few drops of milk on a cotton pad and apply it on that area you want to clear. Leave on overnight and in the morning rinse off with plenty of fresh water.

Among the natural products to lighten skin is lemon. And it is that citric acid has potent bleaching properties that can be successful. It is best to mix the juice of one lemon with another lightening ingredient such as plain yoghurt. To multiply the effects, you could add fuller's earth. If you're going to try this remedy, it is important not to expose the skin to the sun after application, since some spots may appear. We recommend you apply at night and repeat 2 times a week. You can use lemon to whiten your teeth too.

If besides whitening the skin naturally you want to leave it spotless and with no trace of impurities, you must try rice water. The starch contained in this food has traditionally been used to enhance white, so you can see how it works. Just boil a handful of rice in 2 cups water, bring to boil and once ready, chill. Then moisten a cotton pad in the rice water, pass over the area you want to treat and rinse with cold water.

We finish off our list of natural skin whitening remedies with potato juice. This is ideal for restoring tone and making it more uniform and radiant. It is also a good treatment to smooth those rough and dry areas. Blend two small potatoes, strain the resulting liquid and apply directly to the skin leaving it on for 15 minutes.

Turmeric can be used to whiten the skin too, but you should know how to remove it before applying it to your skin.
