    Lemon juice is a great way to lighten the skin and a lot less expensive that skin whitener products. Used correctly it can even out the skin tones of the face, underarms as well as elbows and age spots.

    To exfoliate dead skin - Rub a cut lemon and a half-teaspoon of sugar over the skin for a few minutes. Done once a week freckles and darkened areas fade.


    Apply lemon juice "directly" to your face twice a day and let it sit for at least 15 minutes. You can also apply it at night before retiring and wash it off in the morning after rising. This will also increase your sensitivity to sunlight so wear sunscreen when you go out.

    You can use either lime or lemons.

    Just slice them into 2 and rub them on your elbows,knees or any part of your body that you wish to lighten and let it dry . Then wash it off with water and apply some glycerin on your skin.
