Remember when ladies used to sip at tablespoons of arsenic with their tea so as to achieve that pearlescent glow? No? Just me? …Oh. Well, anyway, they did. But today our reasons aredifferent, and our approach is a little more… shall we say… healthful.
To start, let’s try the home remedy route. These take a bit longer, but are usually much easier on your skin. One very popular method for overall skin bleaching is drying out anorange peel, grinding it into a powder and mixing it with milk, so as to create a paste, which you will pack on your skin and use nightly for at least a half hour.
To help remove a sun tan, mix one teaspoon with another teaspoon of baking soda, lemon juice, honey and milk powder. Top that off with one half teaspoon of almond oil and give your face a good scrub. You could also let it set for ten to fifteen minutes for an extra boost.
To help bleach blemishes and even skin tone, peel a raw potato, cut into small pieces and mash like crazy. Once you’ve relieved your stress with mashing, apply generously to your face. You could also try using the peels, but I find that using the actual potato is more efficient. So why not avoid wasting that perfectly good spud, and throw those peels on the compost pile!
Two of the most popular and easy methods for skin lightening are soaps and creams. Most of these soaps contain natural acids and exfoliating agents. Papaya soaps are used around the world, and soaps containing black licorice extracts are excellent for sensitive skin. As for creams, they almost always contain some sort of acid – be it natural, or otherwise. These creams can work wonders; however, whether you have sensitive skin or not, you need to be very careful when using these as they can irritate, and occasionally even create a bit of unusual sensitivity. If you are looking to lighten spots like beauty marks, moles or scars, I would recommend brands like NeoCeuticals or Neostrata, as they are both effective, and contain SPF, which is important if you’re trying to banish those freckles.
And finally… an exotic skin lightening secret; Oriyen pearl cream and nutritional supplement. These little powerhouses help fight fine lines, clear blemishes and can help create a pearlescent glow. … Which I guess means our reasons aren’t all that different after all.
Next on our rosters... the shame of filthy teeth!
