Keeping Your Skin Healthy

Increase your water consumption

Exfoliate daily with a mild exfoliant, or every other day if your skin is sensitive.
This will help increase cell turnover, meaning softer and smoother skin, and may also reveal lighter skin underneath.

Apply sunscreen daily
ou skin will stay light, be protected from free radicals that age your skin, and have a reduced risk of skin cancer!

Consider using a daily rub after washing your face, and a mask three times a week for best results
Check out the recipes below for some ideas!

Rub Recipes

Rub a lemon half gently over your face and any other areas you'd like to lighten
Let the juice sit until dry, then rinse off with warm water. Avoid the sun when doing this treatment!

Take 1tsp (5mL) of milk and 1 tsp (5mL) of honey.
Mix them together and massage into your face. Use nonfat milk for oily skin, and whole milk or cream for dry skin.

Grind 1/2 cup (120mL) of dry azuki beans to a coarse flour consistency
Then pour about 2 teaspoons (10mL) of the mixture into the palm of your hand. Add water to make a paste, and massage gently into your face. Store remaining powder in a plastic bag.

Homemade Masks

Combine one teaspoon (5mL) of turmeric and three tablespoons (45mL) of lime to make a mask
Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. This will stain clothing, so be careful!

Beat an egg white until frothy, then apply to your face
When it dries, throughly wash off. Do not use this mask on broken skin!

Mix 2 tablespoons (30mL) of honey with two tablespoons (30mL) plain yogurt.
Leave it on your face for about 20 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.

Mash one soft avocado with one cooked carrot
Add a half cup (120mL) of heavy cream, 1 egg and a dab of honey. Spread over your face and neck, and leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing off with cool water.

Choosing Lighter Skin Products

Look for products with hydroquinone (aka benzine 1 or quinol), the only FDA approved skin bleaching ingredient.

Apply Fuller's Earth
Fuller's Earth is used to soak up oils, and is great for those with acne troubles or oily skin who wish to lighten their skin. The minerals, including lime, alumina and iron oxides, can produce a noticeably fairer complexion. The ideal Fuller's Earth for skin care is a mixture of mined montmorillonite minerals and bentonite.
