Did you know that stress, pollution and skin disorders can make your skin tone dark? The other day I noticed that my skin tone which used be wheatish has now turned dark. The dark skin complexion which is the result of pollutants, is accompanied by patches and dry skin. This is a common complaint and thus, the market is flooded with several skin whitening cosmetics. However, researchers have shown that these cosmetics have inverse effect on the skin. Thus, it is best to follow natural skin whitening agents like -

1.Milk – Milk is one of the best natural skin whitening agent with immediate results. One of the basic reasons for skin darkening is improper exfoliation and milk is the best ways to do it. Milk is a great cleanser. Dip cotton in cold milk and wipe you face several times a day. You can see the difference in the skin tone within few weeks time.

2.Tomato – Tomato is a natural bleach, thus, being the second best natural skin whitening agent. Tomatoes also work wonders on dark patches and spots. Grate a small tomato and apply the pulp on your skin. Leave to dry for some time and then apply another coat. Repeat this fro three times along a time period of 20 minutes. Then wash the face with cold water.

3.Honey – Honey is yet another natural skin whitening agent which also cures several skin disorders like blackheads, acne etc. Honey is a natural bleach and a cleanser. Thus it seeps into the pores and cleanses them completely. Honey should be applied every alternate day and make sure you wash it off well. If honey stays back on the skin it might lead to clogging the pores and thus, infection.

4.Potato – I remember during our school sports day, I used to get a bad tan. The only way that would cure was by applying potato. Grate some potatoes and then squeeze it. Apply the juice on your skin. Apply three coats of it and keep it on for not more than twenty minutes. It clears off the skin and also gets back the glow. However, potato has a tendency of getting the skin dry, thus, it should be kept on for long.

5.Turmeric – Turmeric is well known for it's antiseptic properties and is also a great natural skin whitening agent. Turmeric stick can be grated and used to apply on the body during bath. It cleans the skin and also treats it of all the impurities. For better benefits, grate a turmeric stick and squeeze it to extract the juice. Drink one spoon full of turmeric juice everyday to get a vibrant skin.

These five skin whitening agents unlike other home remedies, gets you quick results but make sure you use one of these agents and not all of them. Trying on every treatment might lead to skin reactions.
