Natural Skin lightener….Only if you must!

The grass is always greener on the other side, they say. If you’ve got light skin, you may want it a shade darker and vice versa. Most times it’s safer to just let things be. However there may be situations where we have dark patches of skin that we’re not comfortable with. If this is the case, I believe if you must lighten your skin, do it the safe way…..chemical free.

This is a quick recipe for a Skin Lightening Face Mask, which with regular use (say once or twice a week), may help lighten skin with dark patches.

Wash your face before using this mask.

You’ll need One Lime, One Tomato and about a teaspoon or less of flour to thicken your mask.

Chop up a medium sized tomato and pop into the blender. Squeeze the juice of one lime and add to the blender. Mix this together. Pour out into a little bowl and thicken with a bit of flour. Rub this in circular motion all over the face or area to be lightened. Leave on for about 20minutes and then rinse off with cold water.

Moisturise your skin as normal.

If you’ve got really sensitive skin, don’t leave on for too long as the lime may sting a bit.

Don’t expect overnight results. A bit of patience would come in handy!

Another good thing about this mix is that you can enjoy a nice smoothie if you have any leftovers in the blender - without the flour of course!

Enjoy your weekend!
