Having a clear skin means there’s a less amount of melanin present in our skin and this is what all fairness promising products target. Here, we will share with you 7 home remedies serving the purpose.
Remember! A disciplined approach towards a skin care regime can give you a healthy and glowing complexion you always desired. These remedies will help you remove sun tan and pigmentation caused by overexposure to sun or stress.
Honey trick: Honey, if used with agents like lemon and cinnamon can do wonders to your skin. Mix equal quantities of honey, lemon juice and apply on to your skin. In another remedy, mix a tiny amount of cinnamon with about half a teaspoon of honey and apply it on your face. Leave these mixtures on your skin for 10-15 minutes, and then rinse with water.
Potato: The potato juice works as a bleaching agent. Peel off the skin of a potato and grate it. Collect the juice and apply on to your skin, leave it for 10-15 minutes and then wash off with water. For dry skin, add 2-3 drops of honey to this juice.
