Skin whitening products reduce the dark pigmentation of your skin which protects you from the UV rays of the sun.

Some are natural and others are manufactured chemicals. The safest and least expensive products are made from natural ingredients. Some of these natural skin whitening treatments and remedies include the following:-
Application of Lemon Juice
# Lemon as we all know is found in many detergents and soaps promising brighter clothes and utensils yes they can be used on your skin as well yes I know its a bad comparison still, lemon is full of vitamin C which brightens your skin and reduces dark spots. This homemade skin whitener is completely safe and natural. The citric acid in lemons act as a mild acid that exfoliates or removes the epidermis or top skin layer.
The application of lemon juice on the dark areas of your skin will help reduce the pigmentation and remove the dead skin from the top, which allow the new skin to reach the surface which is less coloured and fresh.
Collect fresh juice in a bottle or you can buy it from the market, remember to see the acidity of the juice sold in market, they can be concentrated which might turn your skin red. So test on your hands before applying on face. Apply the lemon juice to the hyper-pigmented areas with a cotton ball. You can apply lemon juice a few times a day. Results will be seen within a few weeks.
Application of Hydrogen Peroxide
# Hydrogen peroxide is a popular name among bleaching products. Essentially seen in many hair coloring kits and teeth-whitening products. Hydrogen peroxide is mostly used in homes as a disinfectant. The hydrogen peroxide sold in drug stores is in a dark-colored bottle because sunlight and artificial light lessens its potency. Use a cotton ball to apply a small amount of the peroxide to the areas you want to lighten in color. As with lemon juice, you can apply hydrogen peroxide a few times a day.
Application of Buttermilk for fairness
# Buttermilk is another natural product which can be used to fade discolored areas and lighten skin. The lactic acid in buttermilk works in a way similar to citric acid. The lactic acid exfoliates the epidermis and helps to fade the age spots or scars. Buttermilk can be applied to the skin and used as a facial. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm mater. You can have a buttermilk facial a few times a week.
