While there are many commercially available skin lightening creams, some people prefer to make their own at home. Here is a recipe for a homemade skin lightening cream using natural ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup shea butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 2 tbsp almond oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
Instructions:
- In a double boiler, melt the shea butter and coconut oil together until they are fully combined.
- Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the almond oil, lemon juice, and turmeric powder.
- Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Allow the mixture to cool and solidify.
- Transfer the cream to a clean, airtight container for storage.
To use the cream, apply a small amount to your skin and massage gently. Use it at least once a day, preferably at night, to see best results. Please note that some people may be sensitive to some of the ingredients, so it is important to do a patch test before using the cream on your face or body. It is also important to use sunscreen to protect your skin from further damage and prevent further darkening. If you experience any irritation or discomfort, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist.
