Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir/ Madam.
I understand your concern.
Creams and moisturizers will not have a good effect rather go for home remedies.
Let me give you following tips.
1.Rub fresh lemon into the dark skin.
Leave it for ten min and wash it off.
Do not expose yourself to the sun during this treatment.
2.Mix 1 tsp of turmeric powder and 3 tsp of lemon juice, mix them into a paste and apply for 15 min.
3.Potato juice has great skin lightening properties.Squeeze juice out of it and apply over the face for 15 min daily.
4.Gently rub a tomato for 5 min into your skin.This will cause effective skin lightening.
5.Apply, face pack made of calamine powder, XXXXXXX seeds, papaya pulp and almonds.
6.Mix honey, papaya, and milk in equal amounts and apply daily for 15 min.
7.Add one spoon of tamarind pulp to half spoon of turmeric and smear this on your skin.
8.Boil orange peels in water and use this water to improve skin tone.
9.Add 2-3 strands of saffron to milk and apply it to your face, neck and hands.
10.Drink at least 3-4 liters of water a day.
Recently new procedures like Selective Melanocyte ablation(SMA) is promising and yielding good results.
Post your further queries if any.
