Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and has nothing to do with the color of the skin. However, a fair and radiant skin is the desire of many women. Here are 10 home remedies for skin lightening and skin whitening for a flawless glowing skin, especially facial glow, all naturally.
The color of our skin is associated with a component called melanin, which is responsible for skin color pigmentation. When we go out in the sun and get tan, it is because the sun rays stimulate the production of more melanin. Although we cannot change the level of melanin present in our skin without some advanced skin treatment, it is possible to get rid of the pigmentation, blemishes and tan caused due to sun exposure, stress, illness or negligence in taking proper skin care. If you are exploring the different ways of skin lightening without any side effect, there are some excellent natural treatments which you can try at home. Fairness products and skin lightening creams available in the market may contain chemicals that are harmful and may also cause skin cancer like melanoma. Home treatments are affordable, natural and harmless to the skin.
