Want To Get Rid Of Dark Skin Tone? Try These Homemade Masks
Skin is the largest organ in the body and it is a fact that most people are not aware of. The skin too needs nourishment from time to time to retain freshness and look hale and hearty. If dry skin is equated with the winter season, for the summer, it is the dark skin tone.
The complexion of a person drastically changes when exposed to the scorching sun for longer periods, though it varies with every individual. Considering the hectic schedule and busy lives of everyone, the outdoors are unavoidable. Skin darkening gets worse when summer is at its peak, like how it is now. Let's take a quick look at how it happens.
Melanin is the culprit here. In fact, the purpose of melanin is to protect the skin from the UV rays of the sun. The UV rays can cause cancer if unfiltered by the skin. So, when the rays touch the skin, the quantity of melanin multiples as a response for the sake of protection. This is what causes the darkening of the skin.
No
worries!
Homemade
masks
are
the
ideal
solution
for
this.
There
are
various
ingredients
that
Mother
nature
has
given
to
us
to
whip
up
a
good
one.
You
only
have
to
combine
the
right
ones
in
correct
quantities
and
use
it
judiciously
to
get
back
your
original
complexion.
Moreover,
this
option
is
better
off
than
opting
for
luxury
creams
found
in
the
markets
that
are
nothing
but
chemicals.
Here
are
five
masks
to
get
back
your
glow
this
summer.
Oatmeal and Yogurt Mask
This is a simple mask that is easy to make at home. You will need
A
small
cup
of
oatmeal
3
tablespoons
yogurt
2
tablespoons
tomato
juice
Just combine all the three ingredients well and apply it to the face. Rub the mixture in a circular motion gently for a couple of minutes and let it dry for about 20 minutes. Rinse with cold water and pat dry.
Yogurt is loaded with bacterial culture and this, when combined with the oxidant properties of tomato juice, acts as a bleaching agent to lighten the skin. The work of the oatmeal is to remove the dead skin which improves complexion.
Milk and Lime Juice Mask
There can never be a kitchen that is devoid of these two ingredients. The measurements for the mask are
3
tablespoons
milk
1
tablespoon
lime
juice
1
tablespoon
honey
A
pinch
of
turmeric
Mix
up
all
of
the
ingredients
and
apply
with
the
help
of
a
brush,
a
makeup
brush.
Allow
the
pack
to
dry
and
then
rinse
with
lukewarm
water.
Milk
contains
lactic
acid
that
helps
in
making
the
skin
tone
even.
Lime
juice,
without
a
doubt,
bleaches
the
skin
and
reduces
the
tan.
A
dash
of
honey
to
the
mask
gives
a
glow
to
the
skin.
Lime Juice And Cucumber Mask
Cucumber is a vegetable that cools down the body and it also freshens up the skin. When combined with lime juice, it creates magic when dealing with skin darkening. Get hold of
1
tablespoon
cucumber
juice
1
teaspoon
lime
juice
1
teaspoon
glycerine
A
pinch
of
turmeric
Combine all the ingredients and apply the same to the affected area, preferably using a cotton ball to avoid a mess. It also ensures even application. Allow the mixture to dry well and wash off with cold water.
Papaya And Yogurt Mask
This is not going to be a quick fix and is specially meant for people with dry skin. This mask requires quite a number of ingredients and some time ahead for preparation, but it is definitely worth the effort. You will need:
2
tablespoons
yogurt
2
tablespoons
papaya
juice
1
Egg
white
1
teaspoon
apple
cider
vinegar
1
teaspoon
almond
oil
Glycerine
(optional)
First,
you
need
to
mix
up
papaya
juice
with
vinegar,
yogurt,
and
almond
oil.
Keep
it
refrigerated
for
a
couple
of
hours.
To
the
chilled
pack,
add
egg
white
and
glycerine
(if
using).
Apply
and
leave
on
for
half
an
hour
or
so
and
rinse
with
lukewarm
water.
The
main
ingredient,
papaya
has
skin
lightening
properties
and
with
the
help
of
the
other
things
in
the
mask,
skin
dryness,
blemishes,
and
sagging
of
skin
are
taken
care
of.
Milk And Gram Flour Mask
Gram flour comes in handy for everyone obsessed with skin care and it does not fail with treating skin darkening too. Grab the following:
2
teaspoons
gram
flour
3
tablespoons
milk
1
tablespoon
lime
juice
A
pinch
of
turmeric
Make
a
smooth
paste
by
mixing
all
the
ingredients.
Apply
and
leave
on
for
some
time,
till
it
dries
up.
Later
on,
wash
it
off
with
cold
water
to
reveal
the
new
look.
Lime
juice
lightens
the
skin
due
to
the
presence
of
high
vitamin
C
and
potassium
in
it.
Milk,
in
addition
to
cleansing,
evens
out
the
skin
tone.
The
compounds
in
turmeric
help
deal
with
removing
the
tan
effectively.
