Some people face problems on account of an uneven skin complexion while some are continually wishing to get fairer skin. It is almost a fad, with people wanting to alter their skin tones into lighter shades. There are numerous skin whitening creams in the market, widely marketed for their effects on the skin's tone and texture. Most celebrities have, at least once in their lives, endorsed such creams. In reality, these creams are nothing more than a dip made from chemicals that bleach your skin and damage the outer layer of your dermis. It is best that you avoid such products, especially those claiming to give results overnight, for they might trigger side-effects such as acne breakouts, dullness, and an uneven skin tone. Some women regularly pay visits to parlours and spas to get and to maintain paler skin tones. Such maintenance, although effective to a certain extent, is also pretty expensive. A safe and affordable alternative for skin whitening is through the use of home remedies, using natural ingredients. Though these remedies only work to some extent to enhance your natural skin colour , they are still a much better choice than bleaching. They are mild on the skin and give you not exact but certainly incredible results, and they are extremely safe for your skin as well. Before starting a home remedy routine, it is important to understand the causes of skin darkening and how they can be prevented. Cause The skin becomes dull and pigmented principally due to the accumulation of dead skin cells and damage from pollutants and harmful UV rays . Prolonged exposure to the sun can make your skin dark, dull and dry. Pigmentation issues are also often caused by sunburns. Many people experience darker skin tones in the neck region while the rest of the face stays considerably fairer. To prevent this, you should regularly clean and exfoliate your skin using face masks and scrubs. This will ensure that all dirt and impurities from your skin are removed. You should regularly moisturize your skin after cleaning it as it locks the pores shut, blocking the entry of dirt or the deposition of oil. You can also use face mists and serums for better results and for keeping your skin hydrated. Before stepping out in the sun to enrich your skin with vitamin D , it is extremely important to religiously use sunscreen to prevent any damage from the sun. Mixture: Make a fine pasty mixture of ribbon-like consistency from the ingredients mentioned in the beauty recipes. You can skip or add a few ingredients according to your preference. Blend them well for best results. Using these masks at least once a week will give you skin that you have forever been wishing for.
