In order to make the color of your skin lighter by a few shades, you would need to follow a handful of methods on a daily basis. But even if you do that, keep in mind that it is practically impossible for you to change the color of your skin completely. It is impossible to change the basic color of your skin, however, you can definitely reduce and even eliminate any skin tan and therefore have fairer skin. Do not expect to get pink skin if your skin color currently is brown.
To start with, you should start applying sun screen lotion to your face on a daily basis. You should make it a point to apply it a few times during the day, since once is not enough. Remember that even shaded sunlight can impact the color of your skin and make it tan to a darker shade. Sun screen keeps getting absorbed by the skin, which is why it tends to lose its effectiveness over a period of time. This alone should go a long way towards helping your skin to get a few shades lighter. We do not always realize how much the rays of the sun affect our skin on a day to day basis.
You can also make it a rule to get a skin toning and lightening facial at least once a month. This can also be done at home using cucumber pulp as a base. Use cucumber cream for a massage, cucumber pulp for a fruit pack, half a tomato for an exfoliating scrub and cucumber juice, mixed with Fuller's Earth for a face mask. This will have an instantly lightening effect on your skin. For better results, you can also add a few drops of freshly squeezed lime juice to all the products you use. Lime juice is a natural bleaching agent which will help to lighten the color of your skin as well. You should also try to use tomato as a daily exfoliating scrub. This will lighten your skin color as well as remove all the minor marks on your face such as blemishes and freckles. If you have dry skin, you can also use an alternate face mask. Make a moisturizing face mask with fresh heavy cream to which you have added a few strands of saffron. This can be left to soak overnight and then mixed thoroughly. Mix this cream along with a few spoons of Bengal gram flour and use this paste as a face mask.
