Tip Of The Week: How To Get Fair Skin Naturally

Lots of Nigerian ladies have one problem or the other with their skin colour or skin condition and so on. It is also said that 70 percent of Nigerian ladies want to have lighter skin according to a top health magazine.
So on our tip of the week this week, we posted natural ways and ingredients for ladies to have lighter skin, correct their skin flaws, even out their skin tone and get their skin to glow naturally and without fear of side effects.

Use lemon juice:

• Squeeze the juice from half a lemon and dilute it to half strength with water.
• Dip a cotton ball in the liquid and apply the lemon juice to your face, or wherever you wish to lighten the skin.
• Leave the lemon juice to sit on the skin for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Do not go outside during this time, as the juice makes your skin hyper-sensitive to sunlight.
• Thoroughly rinse your skin when you’re done, then apply a good moisturizer as lemon juice can be very drying.
• Repeat this treatment 2 to 3 times a week (no more) for best results.
• Avoid rubbing it on any cut, injuries or pimples as it might irritate your skin.

Try raw potato:

• Cut a raw potato in half, and then rub the exposed flesh over the skin you wish to lighten.
• Leave the potato juice to sit on the skin for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing.
• You will need to repeat this treatment several times a week in order to get any beneficial results.
• Instead of a potato you could use aloe vera, turmeric, yoghurt, pawpaw, coconut water, tomato or cucumber, as all these foods also have high vitamin C content.
• Alternatively, you can place a slice of the raw potato on the affected area to treat skin pigmentation.

Apply milk:

• This is also a very fast way to lighten your skin; it’s a natural skin whitener. You can mix lemon and milk together to get lighter skin in just four months.
• In your small bowl, combine the lemon juice and milk. Stir well, and put in the lemon wedge.
• Leave this on the counter (do NOT put this in the refrigerator, or you stop the bacterial process that you want).
• It will curdle and look funny; this is good. After 3-4 hours, spread it on your clean face and leave on for 15-20 minutes.
• Rinse well. (Note: Be careful for a few hours if you’re going out in the sun after this mask, as it will cause photosensitivity.)
• You can also try orange peel powder with milk and honey. Make a face pack and apply.

Also, some other tips for lighter skin include quitting smoking, drinking more water and following a healthy diet, and exfoliating your skin often to remove dry and dead skin cells.
