i hope you are not mad and will help me. Thank you so much. PJP replied. dear fareena,

i am not mad at you, dear. i was only explaining to you. before you develop the hope of getting fairer, make sure of the shade you will achieve by looking at the back of your ears. whatever is the colour behind your ears is the colour you can achieve and not more than that.

1) scrub your face everyday with a fruit scrub, preferrably apricot face scrub. wash your face clean with a mild soap and apply the scrub. run your fingers clockwise for a minute and anti clockwise for another. then rinse off. be gentle and dont be too harsh on your skin while scrubbing. you can do this while bathing. this is the quickest youcan do everyday if you dont have much time.

2) once a week, after scrubbing your face, apply the lemon, oatmeal, besan, walnut powder, crushed apricot, crushed ripe fig, coconut milk, honey and fenugreek powder pack. leave it on for 45 minutes and rinse off.

3) once a week, apply salt, coconut oil, curd, milk mask. first mix salt and coconut oil to gether till it becomes a paste. rub it gently on your face and wherever necessary for 5 minutes. run your fingers clockwise and then anti-clockwise. if you are not gentle, the salt may tera your skin. so do it very carefully. wash with warm water. next, mix thick curd with milk and apply wherever you had scrubbed. leave it on for 30 minutes. wash off with warm water. if you have oily skin, dont try this.

4) mix the juice of tomato, potato, lemon, fenugreek powder, turmeric/ sandal powder and honey and apply it and leave it for 45 minutes to one hour. rinse off with warm water.

5) or simply apply juice of aloe vera every night and rinse off inthe morning.

6) you may also try revlon touch and glow fairness cream/ lotion.

these are the only QUICKEST and SIMPLEST home remedies i can suggest. there is no shortcut for beauty, dear. effort is required. and time is required. i have suggested most of it for just once a week, as you say you have no time. so its naturally going to take much more longer. whichever you try, its going to take time. the skin does not have the super power to react immediately. human body is a complex system, which will take time. the whole body reacts to whatever is done on one part of the body. so give your body some time. keep treating till you get the desired results. the results are sure if undertaken with optimism and perseverence.

all my love,
priya.
