NATURAL WAY TO GET FAIR SKIN AT HOME
Everyone has unique skin type, so make sure you understand your own skin condition and try several recipes until you find one that really suits your skin.
Do not worry! There are a lot of goodness in nature we can use as skin-lightening treatments:
COCONUT OIL
Preparation time: 5-40 minute
Coconut has been known as a powerful cleansing food that speeds up healing results by thoroughly flushing out all toxins. Coconut oil also has similar effect on body, especially virgin coconut oil. Coconut oil is rich in lauric acid, which considered as a healthier saturated fat that will be converted into monolaurin in the body – serves to kill bacteria, fungi and viruses, as well as fatty acids. If you have dry skin, just use coconut oil as a moisturizer for your face or skin.
How to do it:
1. Leave a bowl of coconut milk that was squeezed out of 5 coconuts overnight, then skim the coconut cream in the top layer.
2. Put the fire on “high”, and heat up a non-sticky pan over the stove
3. Move the coconut cream into a skillet and fry it for around 30-40 minutes until the coconut becomes brown, then put it on a glass through a strainer. Five coconuts can produce around 300 ml of coconut oil.
4. Let it cool down before we can put it into a glass bottle
5. You can mix two tablespoons (tbsp) of coconut oil with a few drops of fresh lemon juice, stir and use a cotton ball to help lighten the face and neck area
