hii my complexion has become darker then b4 and its darker then the colour of my overall body.
My skin is dull n sumtimes gets dry on the face. I dont no if this hapened due to bleaching facial hair which i used to do last year but since then the skin has been becoming darker slowly as time went.
I dont do beaching no more and just cleanse my face n do normal facial routines. At times i apply lemon n glycerine paste.
Some one gave me advice on applying a lime and honey mixture to my face.. but as i dont want to do any more damage to my complexion i dont no if i shud apply that mixture??
To smooth the skin on my face out recently iv substituted using sandlewood oil rather then using a moisturiser at nite or on the days wen i stay home.
Can anyone please help me on giving any solutions on how i can get back fair complexion and smooth soft skin?? shalu replied. hai vineeta,
to drastically change the color of your skin.......there is no permanent natural solution but try these- Apply equal amounts of lemon juice and cucumber juice to your face and let dry. Wash off after 10 minutes. This will lighten the skin tone and keep skin healthy. Also soak one lemon slice in a glass of milk. Strain the juice and apply to face.Stay out of the sun as much as you can. These are natural suggestion. Chemical and other options like bleaching and fairness creams, i WOULD NOT recommend. these can really damage your skin. Also the idea that beautiful skin can only be fair skin is not true! The rich color of a darker complexion well taken care of can also be very beautiful and attractive.
good luck

I do not think that it is the bleaching that causes your dull skin and dryness- you said that you had stopped bleaching,which is a good idea- waxing is better. Don't try to just focus on getting a fairer complexion- these days fairness is not considered a sign of beauty too much anymore, and many models have duskier skin. Applying equal amounts of lemon juice and cucumber juice to your face, then leaving it on for about 10 min. than washing off will improve the evenness of your complexion. Have you ever tryed a face mask? One excellent one for dry skin is banana. mash the banana and apply to your face, leave on until dry and then wash off your face. Your face will become silky soft and moisturized.
Hope you try this,
