Because having lighter skin and spot free skin has suddenly become synonymous to having celebrity status, many people seek out ways on how to improve their skin. But while so many celebrities opt for quicker methods in having lighter and spot free skin, we average people can achieve the same effects without spending a lot of money.

Let me tell you some of the tried and tested ways to have lighter and spot free skin:

1. Exfoliate two times a week
In the wonderful Science of lightening your skin, don’t forget to use a mild exfoliant in getting rid of dead skin cells, germs, dirt and sebum on the surface of your skin. This will not only make your skin a lot softer, it will also help the whitening products you are using penetrate deeper into your skin. A natural scrub made from brown sugar and honey is already a huge help.

2. Apply lemon juice 30 minutes before bathing
If you have dark spots you want to get rid of, apply lemon juice and let it sit there for about 30 minutes before washing them off. Lemon juice has natural bleaching properties that can get rid of blemishes in as fast as a few weeks. Just make sure to apply it religiously using circular motion so your skin can better absorb it. Also use it only at night because the acid from lemon juice can make dermis photosensitive.

3. After taking a bath, immediately apply lightening moisturizer or lotion
But first, your brand of lotion should be effective enough to do this. It should target the specific dark areas of your body first to even it out with the rest of your skin tone. As soon as it has accomplished this, you can lighten your dark skin evenly.

Pick a product containing Extrapone Nutgrass. Its root extracts can help inhibit melanin production so the darker spots in your body will lighten up in no time. In addition to its whitening benefits, it also helps reduce cracked and dry skin. Its emollient properties will improve the texture of your skin.

CynergyTK is also a good ingredient to pick along with Phytessence Wakame. Your dermis should also be healthy in addition to being radiant and these two ingredients can help you out. CynergyTK improves the production of collagen and elastin in the body. It supplies your skin with functional keratin. On the other hand, Phytessence Wakame prevents the loss of hyaluronic acid. This is the acid that lubricates collagen.

You have to get out of your way in making your skin a lot more vibrant. But your efforts will be rewarded and you will have lighter and spotless skin in no time.
