Method 9: Turmeric, Rice Flour & Yogurt

Rice flour is the skin-lightening secret of Asians. Rice contains an enzyme called tyrosinase that reduces melanin production in the skin.

Both rice and turmeric contain antioxidants that fight free-radical damage and delay the natural aging process to keep your skin firm. The yogurt used in this recipe works as a cleanser and aids in skin lightening, due to the presence of lactic acid.

Organic turmeric powder (rich in antioxidants) – 1 teaspoon
