Lemon Juice or Lime Juice for Pigmentation


What it does: Lightens freckles and mild pigmentation over time.

How to do it: Cut the lemon or lime into slices, and rub a slice directly onto the affected skin. You can also squeeze the juice first if you prefer.

Dab juice straight onto freckles or dark blemishes. (But whatever way, remember to use fresh! This is all-natural and will not stay effective for long.)

Leave on skin until dry. Wash off with water.

Why it helps: Lemon and limes have high acidic content. It is this acid that exfoliates the top layer of skin, increases cell turnover, and over time helps to fade pigmentation and freckles.


Papaya exfoliates skin

How to do it: Mash some fresh papaya, unripe is better. Apply on clean skin as a mask for 20-30 minutes. Wash off with warm water.

Why it helps:
Like pineapple, the enzymes in papaya (papain) is a natural BHA.

Fresh Pineapple Juice for a Natural Skin Peel

What it does: A natural acid exfoliant for skin, which leaves it feeling soft and cleansed.

How to do it: Put into a blender/juicer to obtain fresh juice. (Use fresh fruit, not canned! And apply immediately. Since this is all-natural – doesn?t contain any preservatives, it doesn?t stay effective for long.) Pat juice on skin, leave on for 15-20 minutes. Wash off with water.

Why it helps: Pineapple (contains bromelain) is a natural BHA. BHAs stimulates cell turnover, which helps to fade surface discolorations.
