Homemade Skin Bleach

So many people have asked me about homemade skin bleach I decided to write this page.

Many coloured people want to bleach their skin because they have uneven skin tone. Many white people want to bleach their skin to reduce a suntan, lighten dark age spots, scars and freckles.

Most uneven skin tone on any colour of skin is the result of too much sun. It's important to wear a good sun protector cream. By protecting your skin you will help reduce further freckles, age spots getting darker and skin becoming uneven in tone. The sun is one of beauty's worst enemies, wear a hat and don’t sit in the sun if you don’t want early wrinkles!

Whatever your reasons to want to bleach your skin there are many products you can buy; however some are expensive but they do work and some very quickly. Using natural methods to bleach the skin is not a quick method and rarely happens overnight so be patient and you will see results slowly but surely.

If you are serious about using a natural bleach then you must exfoliate your skin too. By exfoliating you are removing the top layer of skin which is a dead layer and will fall off naturally if left. By removing these dead cells you are evening out your skin tone by lightening your skin a little.

Method 1

Potatoes have a natural bleach in them making them ideal for a homemade skin bleach.

Peel a few potatoes and cut them into small pieces.
Place in the liquidiser and blend until smooth.
Mix the liquid with porridge oats to form a paste.
Massage the mix gently into your skin and leave for 30 minutes before washing off.
Carry out this treatment two or three times a week until you see improvement.

If you only want to bleach a tiny area then you can simply cut a potato in half and place it directly onto the skin.
