How to prepare homemade skin whitening facemask

1. Potato and fresh milk:

The first homemade skin whitening facemask is made from potato and fresh milk.

Require:

• 1 small peeled potato (or half of big potato);
• 1 tablespoon of fresh milk (pasteurized);
• Boil a potato (or you can use raw one). But if your skin is sensitive, boiled potatoes are recommended.

How to apply:

• Smash a boiled potato (or grind it if raw).
• Mix it with fresh milk until it becomes paste.

• Wash your face with lukewarm water, then cold water to minimize the pores.
• Continue with your nighttime skincare routine.
• Use this homemade skin whitening facemask maximum 3 times a week.

Effect: Potato contains the catecholase enzyme and vitamin C, which help reduce dark spots and blemishes and maintain skin elasticity, prevent skin aging, and brighten skin. Fresh milk provides moisture and makes skin softer and whiter. Fresh milk especially suits with sensitive skin.

2. Cucumber and yogurt:

Another homemade skin whitening facemask is simpler with cucumber only. Nutrients in cucumber help nourish the skin and make it brighter and softer. Yogurt having a high content of lactic acid and antibacterial properties assists in acne prevention and dark spot reduction.

How to apply:

• Wash cucumber and peel it, then mince it.
• Mix it with yogurt till paste.

In case you do not want to use yogurt, you can mince or slice cucumber to cover your face. Keep it on your face for 15–20 minutes, then wash your face.

Effect: The combination of cucumber and yogurt will minimize the pores, reduce dark spots, and make the skin fair.

3. Papaya, lemon, and honey:

With this homemade skin whitening facemask, your skin will also be bright and soft. In case your skin is really sensitive, you can opt out of lemon juice.

• 2 or 3 teaspoons of honey;
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

How to apply:

• Peel papaya, remove seeds;
• Smash papaya into a clean bowl;

Strawberry and yogurt can also be used as effective homemade skin whitening facemask.

• Add yogurt (or milk) to strawberries to make a paste.

Another homemade skin whitening facemask that I’d like to share with you today is from red bean and yogurt. In case your skin is sensitive to yogurt, you can use only red beans.

Homemade skin whitening facemask—the best thing from nature:

Those facemasks are safe for your skin; you can pick up any of them that are most suitable for your skin. There are some facemasks that may bother you because of liquid running down your neck and hair, so you can use a dry paper facemask for support. Also, you can wound your neck with a towel to prevent the liquid from making your body disturbed.

• The best time to apply the homemade skin whitening facemask is before bedtime.
• Remember to clean your face and hands before applying the masks.
• You can do a face sauna twice a month for deep cleaning and dead skin removal.
• Always apply sun cream or sunblock before you go out, and reapply after every 4 hours.
