Homemade skin bleach seems to be a very popular solution for a very nasty problem attacking both men and women of all ages. It does not matter how old you are, or what type of skin you have: dark spots, skin discoloration, sun damage will sooner or later make their ugly appearance on your body when you least need it.
Why can you do about it? - There is only one right answer to this question: Deal with it immediately. Don't wait for these blemishes and dark skin spots to go away on their own. They won't!
Now I see another question coming up: Exactly how do I make my dark skin spots and blemishes go away? Here you have couple of choices:
1) you can either make your own homemade skin bleach orLet's take a look at your first option: going for a homemade skin bleach. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of using a homemade skin bleach?
I would like to explain it to you clearly: using your own home made skin bleach might look like a wonderful and easy solution because:
- you can control over the ingredient you put into your home made skin bleach;
- you do not need to pay for an expensive ready made skin brightener;
- if you are getting an adverse skin reaction to your homemade skin bleach you can easily adjust your recipe formula and try it again until you see the effect you need;
- you don't have to spend lots of time to go to stores to buy an over-the-counter skin brightener.
Some important points to keep in mind before making your own homemade skin bleach:
- Always clean your face skin thoroughly before bleaching;
- Avoid applying skin bleach to your eye area or eye lids;
- Remember: if you are bleaching your face skin, you should also bleach your neck. Otherwise you will get a funny looking difference between your facial skin and your neck skin color.
- If this is your very first time using a homemade skin bleach, don't do it right before (or shortly before) an important event like a birthday party, wedding, graduation, corporate party etc. Chances are the first time try will give you some unpredictable reactions like redness or rush. It might take a few days before your skin settles and the redness is gone!
I am going to give you just one more warning: if you skin starts to feel a bit of a burning sensation, it might be normal and you should not worry about it. But if you feel an intense burning feeling - wash your homemade skin bleach off your skin right away! As a great precaution measure it is very recommended to do a five minute skin test (on the inside of your arm) to make sure this procedure is right for your skin type.
If all this seems like something you might want to try on your own, you most certainly can. But if you are looking for a safer and hundred times proven alternative to a homemade skin bleach, let me assure you that there are some good and even great safe, very effective all natural skin brighteners out there that won't cost you an arm and a leg.

What was the recipe you used?Please log in to respond to this comment.Holly,I used lemon juice mixed with cucumber and tomato juice. Apparently my skin was hyper sensitive to lemon juice, so I got a bad reaction.It might work for other people though as everyone has different skin types and tolerances. The important part is to test your recipe first on a small patch of skin (preferably not on your face) to make sure you don't get an adverse reaction.Please log in to respond to this comment.
