Method 1: Turmeric & Lemon

Turmeric and lemon form the best combination for skin lightening. While the turmeric absorbs into the skin and breaks down the melanin, the lemon juice works as a bleaching agent.

If you have oily skin, lemon also helps cut down the oil to give you fresher-looking skin.

Note: Since lemon can make your skin photosensitive, avoid going out in the sun after using this face mask. It is preferable to use it at bedtime, so there is enough of a time gap before you expose your skin to the sun. Also, if you have sensitive skin, do a patch test first.

Things you’ll need:


Organic turmeric powder (reduces melanin) – 1 tablespoon
Lemon juice, freshly squeezed (acts as natural bleach) – 2 tablespoons
