Looks like most of my readers are interested in Skin Lightening Recipes. Well, I have one more recipe to share with you today. Most of the Skin Whitening treatments/products contain Arbutin which is found in Bearberry, Wheat and Pears. Arbutin prevents formation of Melanin and dramatically reduces pigmentation . It is one of the safest Skin Whitening treatments. There are two types of Arbutin, Alpha-Arbutin and Beta-Arbutin. Alpha Arbutin is a biosynthetic ingredient which is supposed to be 10 times more effective than Beta Arbutin(natural Arbutin) that is Bearberry(Uva Ursi) extract.
Pears Facial Mask
You can make your own facial mask at home and get rid of pigmentation. Mix a little honey with some paste of pears(pears with skin) ,apply it on your face and rinse off after 20 minutes.
Eat lots of berries and citrus fruits if you are looking for a radiant complexion because these fruits and berries are rich in AHAs(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) which can work wonders on your skin.

Love the recession-proof recipe. I chill my green tea bags and use them on my face also. It really tightens the skin.
You are so right, Green tea really lightens the skin. I was thinking about coming to that topic next week with some additional info:)
