Pure lemon juice can be very strong for your skin, so add one part water to one part lemon juice and mix it well. Then using a cotton pad dab it all over your face. After 15 minutes, wash it with warm water. Do not use this mixture more than 2 to 3 times a week. After the process is complete you should use a moisturiser on your skin. If you're going out in the sun, you should wash it off thoroughly before going out.

Milk and lemon

Milk is a gentle whitener because it has enzymes in it. It also moisturises your face and skin. When it is used along with lemon juice, it will balance out the more astringent qualities of lemon juice which can dry out your skin. You need to take a bath of warm water. Take warm water in the tub and add a cup full of milk along with juice of one lemon. Soak in this gentle mix for 20 minutes and then rinse it off. You can do this at least once a week.

Tomato

If you want to remove signs of a tan or sunburn, tomato can help you to do so. A tomato pack will light in your skin tone and also clean the dead cells from your face. You can easily make the pack at home by using 1 to 2 tomatoes, 2 tablespoon of lemon juice and gram flour. Use a blender to make a paste from all the ingredients. Use the pack daily before you take a shower.

Exfoliation

Different exfoliating methods will help you to get a whiter skin. Exfoliation is beneficial for you because it can remove the dead cells from your skin and thereby can remove the dull, tired look. It can give you a refreshed and glowing skin.

While using the exfoliator, you need to more weight in gentle circular motion over wet skin. You need to do this twice and you will get a polished look.
