Does your skin look and feel dull and lifeless? Bleaching your skin once in a while can help you regain that natural glow no doubt, but chemical bleaches can do more harm to your skin than good. That’s exactly why we’ve got 5 natural bleaching agents here to help you get back that healthy glow without harming your skin. If you want to know how to bleach your skin, read on…

Tomato Bleach
Tomatoes taste great in your food preparations, but that’s not it- since it is acidic in nature and packs in vitamin C, it is great for your skin too. Just mash a ripe tomato, let it go through the strainer to remove all seeds and big chunks, and mix it with a small amount of yogurt before applying it onto the face. Regular application of this pack has been found to reduce the appearance of dark spots and scars too.

Potato Bleach
Potato is also a natural bleaching agent, and when used as a face pack, it can help reduce the tanning of skin that happens due to unprotected sun exposure. All you need to do is grate some potatoes and extract the juice out of it and apply it to the skin. If you have oily skin, you can mix this juice with some rose water or fresh aloe vera gel. If you’ve got dry skin, you can add honey to it for some moisturization and care.

Cucumber Pack
Cucumber has a very soothing effect on your skin, and since it is rich in water, it can be the perfect natural bleach to use during summers. Just grate some peeled cucumber, squeeze the juice out of it and mix it with some aloe vera gel to create a nice, applicable mixture. This mixture doesn’t just lighten the skin tone but also cools and soothes your skin.

Lemon Juice Bleach
Lemon juice is perhaps the most powerful natural bleaching agents there is- and if you’re fiercely tanned, this one could be the perfect solution for you. It is also an excellent source of vitamin C, which means you’ll be able to see results super fast. All you need to do is squeeze the juice of a lemon and directly apply it to the skin. Make sure you do this only if your skin isn’t very sensitive, since lemon juice can be a bit intense.

Oatmeal Pack
Oatmeal works differently than all other natural bleaches mentioned above. Since the particles of oatmeal are abrasive in nature, it can work wonderfully as a natural exfoliant, and can remove the layer of dead skin cells on the surface super effectively. You can mix some ground oatmeal with some lemon juice and water for that extra glow. Use this face pack twice a month for best results.
