Following are some home remedies you can try.

Apply Lemon Juice on Face:

Lemon has been using as a skin lightening agent for a long time. It contains vitamin C that helps to promote the growth of new cells. Lemon also has antioxidants which protect against ageing and improves facial complexion.

You can also make a paste of diluted lemon juice and turmeric. Turmeric is used for a clear and even tone face complexion. Apply it for 20 minutes then wash it off.

Oranges are a good source of vitamin C and help to lighten facial complexion. Drinking orange juice also makes your complexion lighter and glowy. You can buy orange peels or you can also make a paste of orange juice and turmeric. Apply it on your face and leave it for 20 minutes then wash off.

Take Vitamin B3:

Vitamin B3 is useful in treating hyperpigmentation. It helps to clear dark spots and makes your complexion fair. This vitamin also reduces the chances of skin cancer. Vitamin B3 is found in meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and green peas. Vitamin B3 supplements are also available in the market but first, take advice from a pharmacist.

Skin Lightening Creams:

Skin lightening cream can also help in lightening your complexion. It usually contains hydroquinone and corticosteroids. It's better to use creams that contain natural ingredients otherwise chemicals can harm your skin. It's highly recommended to use reputable lightening cream brands or ask a doctor for advice on using fairness creams.

Laser Treatment:

Laser treatment is also an option but this option doesn't suit all people and it's also costly. The laser actually damages the skin cells that produce melanin or it can remove the outer skin layer. It depends on personal choice which option you choose.

How To Prevent Skin From Getting Darker:

Dark or dull skin can be caused by sun exposure, poor health or it's simply genes. In order to prevent your skin from getting dull or darker, try to find what causes it. If it's because of sun exposure then use a proper suncream. We shouldn't ignore The Importance Of Suncream, it doesn't only protect your complexion but it also protects your skin cells from damage by sun harmful rays. If a darker complexion is caused by poor health then try to improve your diet and if it's genetic then cleansing and facial help to lighten skin.
