DIY // An Easy Skin Lightening Face Mask

We have come to an era where the use of harsh chemicals in cosmetics has become a serious concern. The increased level of pollution in the environment demands a more effective skincare solution but using chemicals is certainly not the answer. We need some natural solutions for our skin and hair treatment. As we are going out in the sun, our skin is becoming dull and lacks brightness and glow. For bringing that brightness we are using lightening creams full of chemicals, which is a short time that gives results but actually damages our skin.  

Today, I am going to share an easy skin lightening mask which after continuous use brings back brightness and glow in our skin. The ingredients here I used are very easily available in our kitchen or home.

Products Needed:

• Aloe Vera gel ( here I used Patanjali gel)
• Cooked rice water or starch 
• Sweet Almond Oil
• Lemon juice
• Vitamin  E Capsule ( here I used Evion 400 )

• Pierce one vitamin E capsule and mix it
• Mix it well and after that use 5/6 drops of lemon juice in it

Now your skin lightening pack is ready.

How to Apply

Wash your face with lukewarm water. Gently apply the mixture. Keep it for 30 minutes. Rinse with water. Apply toner or Gulab Jal and follow with a light moisturizer. Use it once or twice a week and you can notice a difference in your skin tone.
