Brighter Skin :: No More Dark Marks

It's OK to want a bright even skin tone. I said BRIGHTEN, not BLEACH!! Big difference! Don't let the "it must be self hate" BS get to you because at the end of the day, its your body not theirs. I believe everything can be done in moderation, especially if you use the right products. I have a few dark marks on my face from "accidentally" popping stubborn pimples. The consequences outweigh the pleasure of popping pimples. Anyway, I came across some ways to lighten up dark marks, and brighten up skin tone naturally.

What You'll Need:

  • Fresh Lemon
  • Honey
  • Unexpired Yogurt OR Milk with lactic acid
  • Raw Potatoes (optional)
  • Papaya Soap (optional)
Wash desired areas first with Papaya Soap or normal soap. Squeeze Lemon juice into a small bowl, with 2 tablespoons Honey, and 1 cup Yogurt (or Milk). Mix the ingredients together and rub it into skin. Let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off  with cool water and moisturize with SPF 30 or higher sunscreen.

**If you are adding potatoes, crush sliced potatoes with a blender or smash with a hammer (be careful). Add to mix and continue with above directions. You can substitute potato slices with cucumber slices.

If you want to just buy a natural skin brightener, check out: Lumnaskin; its a bit pricey but well worth it.
