Everyone wants to have fair, white, and healthy-looking skin. Truly enough, with today’s technology, anyone can achieve beautiful white skin instantly as long as they have the money to invest.

But the thing is, not everyone has the money to invest in expensive pills and procedures. Luckily, you can achieve fair, white, and healthy skin (not just healthy-looking) with natural ingredients you can find in your own home.

Although the results may not be as drastic with those who take whitening pills or have undergone procedures, it’s still effective. Plus, more natural and safe!

Here are 5 ways you can achieve fair, white, and healthy skin at home using natural ingredients:

Lemon Toner
Lemon is loaded with vitamin C which is known to have anti-pigmentary effects helping to even out your skin tone and remove dark spots.

Using a ripe lemon, squeeze the juice out in a bowl, and with a cotton pad, apply the juice onto your face and neck and leave it for 15 minutes before washing it off.

Then, make sure to apply moisturizer after. Do this 2-3 times a week.

Honey Lemon Sugar Scrub
Your skin needs exfoliation at least once a week. Exfoliation removes the dead skin cells making the skin look healthy and supple.

The best way to exfoliate your skin is by using a facial or body scrub and you can make your scrub at home with just three ingredients you can find in your kitchen.

In a bowl, just add equal parts of honey and brown sugar, and then add a little lemon juice. It’s better if you can find brown sugar that is not fine.
Mix the mixture and then scrub to your face, lips, and body. Just make sure you scrub your face and lips gently. After scrubbing, leave it on your skin for about 5 minutes before you wash it off.

Do this at least 2-3 times a week and apply moisturizer on your face and body lotion after.

Aloe Vera Mask
Aloe vera contains aloin, a bioactive compound that has an inhibitory effect on melanin which can help lighten your skin.

The good thing is you can create your very own aloe vera mask with just two ingredients; aloe vera and honey.

In a bowl, extract the gel from the aloe vera leaf, add brown sugar, and mix well. Apply this on your face, neck, elbow, knees, and even on your underarm. Then, leave it for at least 10 minutes before rinsing off or going to bathe.

Do this 2-3 times a week.

Potato + Lemon Juice
Potato is packed with phytochemicals, such as chloride, potassium, and sulfur which can help lighten scars, acne marks, and dark spots promoting clear and even skin tone.

In a bowl, mix equal parts of potato juice and lemon juice. Mix well and use a cotton pad to apply the mixture to your face and neck. Leave it for about 10 – 15 minutes before rinsing off. Do this 2-3 times a week.

Turmeric Mask
Turmeric is not just known as tea but also for skin whitening. It’s commonly used as an ingredient for DIY facial masks which is known to help even the skin tone, remove blemishes and prevent acne breakouts.

To make your turmeric mask, just mix turmeric powder with water creating a paste-like texture. Then, add a little bit of honey and lemon.

Apply the mixture on your face and neck and leave it for 15-20 minutes. If you get the mixture right, the turmeric mixture usually dries up. If so, rinse it off with lukewarm water.
