The sun, pollution, and many other external agents darken our skin tone over time, especially in exposed areas (like the face). To avoid this, it is important that we always use sunscreen, even in winter or when it looks cloudy; we should never leave the house without it. But the truth is that this routine of using sunscreen was not as common when we were little, so your skin might be a bit darker than you would like.

There are creams that help you recover your skin's natural tone, but there are natural ingredient masks you can try at home if you don't want to use chemicals. What these masks do is help you remove the layer of dead skin and dirt that accumulates on our face, in addition to nourishing the skin to restore its natural glow and color, with just 2 ingredients! You will need… 1 orange 3 tablespoons of unsweetened natural yogurt Peel the orange and leave the peels in the sun until they dry and become hard. Grind them until they turn into powder and mix them with the yogurt. Using your fingertips, gently massage your face with this mixture, ensuring that you do not scrub and leave a light layer of yogurt over your skin. Let the mask sit for 15 minutes before rinsing. Repeat this mask twice a week so you can see results soon. Although it will take a few weeks to see a change in skin tone, the elasticity and hydration of your face are noticeable from the first application. Remember to always do a patch test on a less visible part of your skin (although these ingredients are quite gentle).
