Ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and many hard chemicals are present in the bleaching creams available in the market. These chemicals may lighten the skin hair instantly, but their regular use weakens the protective layer of the skin. As a result, problems like dryness, premature wrinkles, allergies, redness and irritation start appearing on the face. In contrast, homemade bleaching creams prepared from natural ingredients remove tanning without harming the skin, lighten the color of unwanted facial hair and give a natural glow to the face.
To prepare this natural bleaching pack, you will only need these five natural things easily found in the kitchen:
-
Raw Potato (1 tsp juice): Potatoes contain natural bleaching enzymes (catecholase) and Vitamin C, which are considered most effective in lightening dark spots and pigmentation.
-
Lemon juice (half teaspoon): Lemon, rich in citric acid, acts as a natural skin lightener and lightens the color of unwanted facial hair.
-
Gram flour (1 tablespoon): Gram flour deeply cleanses the skin, absorbs excess sebum and oil and gives a smooth paste base to the pack.
-
Honey (1 tsp): Honey acts as an excellent natural moisturizer and antibacterial agent to balance the mild dryness caused by lemon and potato juice.
-
Kasturi Turmeric (a pinch): Curcumin present in turmeric helps in improving skin complexion, preventing pimples and providing antiseptic protection to the face.
Take one spoon gram flour in a clean glass bowl. Add a pinch of turmeric, half teaspoon lemon juice, one teaspoon fresh potato juice and one teaspoon honey to it. Mix all these ingredients well with a spoon until a smooth and thick paste is formed. Keep in mind that the paste should neither be too thin nor too dry, so that it can easily stay on the face.
Wash the face thoroughly with a mild face wash or plain lukewarm water and pat dry with a towel. Now apply this homemade cream in an even thick layer on the face and neck with the help of fingers or face brush. Leave out the extremely delicate skin around the eyes and lips. Leave this pack on the face for 15 to 20 minutes.
When the pack dries slightly, take some normal water in your palms and massage the face gently in circular motion for 1-2 minutes. With this light scrubbing, dead skin cells and dirt stuck in the pores are easily removed. After this wash the face with fresh cold water. Immediately after washing the face, apply any light moisturizer or pure aloe vera gel so that the moisture of the skin can be locked.
Even natural things can cause allergies on sensitive skin, so before applying it on the entire face, do a patch test on your wrist or behind the ear. If your skin is too sensitive or dry, reduce the amount of lemon juice or add a little raw milk instead. It is best to use this natural bleach 1 to 2 times a week in the evening, avoiding direct exposure to sunlight.
