Some commonly used home remedies for fairer skin are:

2. Take turmeric and mix it with olive oil to make a paste. And, apply it over the regions you want to lighten. After gently massaging it for a few minutes, leave it on for 20 minutes, and then wash it with warm water. Turmeric inhibits the growth of melanin (an agent that causes darkening) and lightens your skin tone
3. Cucumber helps in making the skin tone lighter. Mix cucumber juice with honey. Then, apply it to your face. Leave it for some time and wash it up to get rid of dry skin and get a fairer skin tone.
4. Exfoliate your skin with a scrub every week to ensure that your skin is dust free and this will ultimately ensure that your skin tone becomes lighter and the texture of your skin becomes softer.

6. You can also rub your skin with raw potatoes to impart skin-lightening effects. The vitamin C present in potatoes helps in lightening the skin. Take a potato and cut it into thick parts and rub them over the areas you want to lighten. Thereafter, wash your face with warm water about half an hour later.

These home remedies are cost-effective and safe and really helpful but you should use only one home remedy at a time. Using all remedies or more than one remedy at a time may harm your skin. If you do not get the desired result with one remedy then shift to others. The results of these remedies may be different from person to person as the skin tone of all people is not the same.
