Have you found the best way on how to lighten your skin? Before trying just about any lightening product, you should be able to decipher the ones safe to use. Lately, news that some whitening products and anti-age spots and melasma products contain high content of mercury sparked worry in many people.

But this wakes us up to the realization that we need to become more discerning in our choices of treatments. Our skin cannot take much damage and it is not getting any younger. Using the wrong treatment might inadvertently speed up the aging process.

The following are some of the ways for you to lighten your skin safely:

1. Use lightening natural facial masks

You will be surprised of some natural methods that are as old as time. In ancient years, these methods are used to make the skin of women back then smooth and fair. You can try using lemon juice extract, papaya mush, pineapple mush and even strawberry mush as whitening fruit ingredients. Milk and honey are also good natural ingredients that can lighten skin.

2. Go for facial creams with natural ingredients

If you do not have time to make all those natural facial masks everyday, you can always go for the easier way which is the use of facial creams. This has sparked a lot of controversy especially to those products containing hydroquinone so only stick to those with natural ingredients. Look for Extrapone Nutgrass and Manuka honey. The extracts of Extrapone Nutgrass can help lighten dark skin tone and inhibit melanin production by up to 40% during the first few weeks of use. Manuka honey is already a natural lightening skin ingredient used for many centuries now. What is great about these ingredients is that they will not turn you red when you are exposed to the sun. In fact, Extrapone Nutgrass can get rid of skin rashes, redness and irritation and promote softer dermis.

3. Protect your skin from the sun through sun block

Make sure your skin is safely protected from the harsh UV rays of the sun. Sun block with a high SPF should be used when you are outdoors for a prolonged period of time.

Always go for the safer way on how to lighten your skin in order to avoid seriously debilitating side effects from occurring. Incorporate these ingredients in your daily beauty regimen and expect good results to come.
