The safest way to whiten your skin is by using natural products. They would give you glowing skin without side effects. Let’s see some of these products:
Lemon Juice
Lemon is known to have properties that are good for the skin. They can fade dark spots and this reveals a brighter skin. All you need to do is squeeze lemon into a bowl and mix with the equivalent amount of water to make it gentle on your skin.

Dip a cotton ball in the mix and rub it on your face. Leave for about 20 minutes and rinse off. Don’t go out in the sun immediately so the sun doesn’t react with the lemon.
Milk and Tomato Juice
On their own, they can do wonders on the skin. So, this combination is a bomb combo. Tomatoes contain antioxidants that will make your skin look bright and milk softens it up.

Squeeze your tomato juice out and mix with the same amount of milk. Apply this mix on your face and rinse off after 15-20 minutes. You can do this 3 times a week for the best results.
Yoghurt and Honey
