Tips to Lighten Skin Naturally
Circumstances arise that make a naturally-light skin go dark: too much exposure to sun, pregnancy, a symptom that persisted after the illness that brought it disappeared, medical conditions, and so on. A lot of people go for chemicals and bleaches to correct the anomaly and bring back their natural color. But bleaches and lightening creams come with a lot of risks. One’s general state of health depends on one’s lifestyle; if you’re going to bring back your natural color, you’ll have to take more serious the things you once neglected.
1. Stay Hydrated
Drinking water helps get rid of toxins that contribute to the skin’s dull look. Set alarm if you have to, just be sure you are drinking at least 2 liters (i.e. 8 cups) of water every day. Soon enough, you’ll see your skin radiantly glowing.
2. Rest
Are you wondering what sleep has to do with your skin? Well, a lot! When you sleep, blood flows to every part of your body so that when you wake up, you look fresh and refreshed. If you’re always waking up tired, it means you’re stressing your body out and you’re depriving it of its much needed sleep. Dull-looking skin is a sign that your body isn’t getting enough sleep.
3. Moisturize
Either you buy a moisturizer or you use a home-made recipe and do one for yourself, just he sure you are moisturizing your skin as many times a day as possible. Moisturizing helps get rid of dry and flaky skin and give it a brilliant glow.

4. Facial Steam
This works! Pour steaming water into a bowl, use a towel to cover your head as you put your face above the steam. Let the steam caress your face for 2 minutes and then pat your face dry. For even better results, put some lemon peels into that water so it’s not just water. This is a great way to deep-cleanse your face and get rid of oil and dirt clogging your skin pores.
5. Exfoliate
Exfoliate your skin once in two days to get rid of dead skin cells, dirt, and excess oil that clog the pores and give the skin a dull appearance. Keep up with this and you’ll see a difference in weeks. You can either DIY or get a ready-made face mask.
