It is almost a craze among the teenagers and women these days to have a lighter complexion. Among these people, some may experience imbalanced skin tone, such as darker complexion on the neck, but fairer on the face. While the rest just deal with pigmentation issues caused by sunburn. Generally, prolonged exposure to sun can make one’s skin go dark, dull and dry. Also, prolonged use of some chemical products can result in the same manner.
# Orange Peel and Yogurt- You can dry the orange peels by placing them under the hot sun until the peels turn dry and crisp.
- Later, grind the dried peels into powder.
- Mix a tablespoon of this with a tablespoon of fresh yogurt to make a paste.
- Then apply this paste over cleansed face and leave it on for about 20 minutes.
