Bleaching refers to the application of certain chemicals or bleaching agents, which help you lighten your skin tone. Skin bleaching also lightens any blemishes and skin marks and the color of your facial hair, to make your complexion appear even and radiant.
Skin tone has always been a matter of disparity among the human race.


People of European origin have fairer skin while Africans have a darker skin tone on account of the varied climatic conditions prevailing in the respective continents.
 A darker skin color has always been a stigma in society, particularly for women. They may resort to various means in order to lighten their complexion. The various causes of a darker skin tone are as follows:
  • Heredity factors
  • Excessive production of melanin as a response to over exposure to sun rays.
All bleaching products consist of a chemical named hydroquinone and the mineral named mercury. These bleaching agents are supposed to kill the melanin producing cells called melanolytes, thereby lightening the skin tone. These substances, being chemical in nature, may have side effects on your skin and as such, it is advisable to use natural products to bleach your skin and for skin care.
Some of the natural methods to bleach skin at home along with skin care tips are as follows:
  • Apply a paste of ground, dried orange peels and curd on your face. Keep this mixture on your face for fifteen minutes and then wash it off. This will help you attain a blemish and scar free complexion.
  • Potato is a known bleaching agent on account of its high starch content. You may place slices of raw potato on your face and then wash your face to get an even and brighter skin tone.
  • You may also use a paste consisting of a teaspoon each of honey, milk powder, lemon juice, and almond oil. This paste helps you remove the tan caused by excessive exposure to sun rays, thereby giving you a brighter skin color.
  • You may also use a paste of turmeric powder and lime juice to remove a sun tan. Lime juice is a natural bleaching agent, and as such, is effective and has no side effects.
  • You may also use a paste of oatmeal, curd, and tomato juice. This mixture is also very effective against sun tan and imparts a fairer and radiant tone to your skin.
Opt for these natural skin bleaching agents rather than the chemicals available in the market. Chemicals do have side effects, which may have grave consequences for your skin.
