Respected Hakeem Sahab Asalamualaikum! By writing down some secrets and tips I want to contribute towards your sadqa-e-jaariah. This is the favorite topic of all women-‘how to become fair’. In the old days, women only wanted to make their hands and face fair because the standard of beauty at that time was being fair and lean built and it continues to be the same. Till mid-70s the tradition of Pardah was still in vogue. Even if only ladies were sitting together their hands and face were the only visible parts but with time more and more parts of the body started to become visible and that meant the face is fair while the rest is still dark.. this became a joke amongst women. At last experts came up with a solution for this as well and invented an injection to make the whole body fair and those women who didn’t have time to get Ubtan or facials done for their weddings used these injections to become fair quickly. These injections would make your whole body instantly very fair and its effects last for around six to eight months but you are not aware of its adverse effects. In reality these injections were invented by the European blacks to change the color of their skin in order to compete with the whites. They were suffering from inferiority complex due to their dark skin while the whites work so hard to turn their skin dark by sun tanning again and again. This injection when enters your body changes the surface of melanin. Melanin pigment is more in quantity in blacks as compared to whites and their skin is naturally better protected from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. The injections reduce the amount of melanin in the body and make the skin fairer but also have a very bad effect on the liver. When we try to battle with nature in such a way, we encounter with new sorts of diseases and illnesses. We cannot fight nature and instinct in any way, but can sure take benefit from them.
Natural remedies for fairer skin complexion can save you from allergies, skin cancer and many other dermatological diseases. I agree that fair complexion is in vogue but stop getting this to your head. Markets are flooded with mix creams which might give you some results temporarily but they can never give natural fairness to your skin. Teeth, eyes, hair and all other things look good when shining and eating healthy things is better than applying them externally. First of all try to keep your thoughts clean and pure. Your body, clothes and house should be pure and clean. Dear sister make a pledge to observe Shar’aee Parda and only display your beauty and charm to your husband and no one else. Dress up for your husbands and Allah will give you the beauty like that of Hoors. InshaAllah. Today I will tell you about ways to make your face and body fair:
Take two teaspoons of porridge, two teaspoons of milk powder, two teaspoons of mango pulp, and the seed inside a raw mango and grind them thoroughly until it becomes a cream (add a little water if need be) Apply this cream on your whole body. It will not only make your skin fair but also using it a few times helps remove bad body odor in certain women who sweat a lot. This is a natural remedy for instant whitening of skin.
Add a small piece of ginger and mint leaves to mango milkshake. This gives a natural glow to your face from inside and also will help those who cannot digest mango properly.

Soak Chick peas in milk and take some poppy seeds along as well. After a few hours grind them thoroughly and dried almond powder in it as well.

Dissolve one such ball every day in milk for an hour and then massage it on your neck and face and watch your skin turn fair with your own eyes!
Two almonds, a few rose petals whether fresh or dry, two green cardamoms and a pinch of turmeric powder. Grind these ingredients together and add two teaspoons of yogurt in it. Women with dry skin can add a few drops of almond oil or olive oil in it as well.

Take petals of fresh marigold flower and add them to boiling two glasses of water and cook them for five minutes. Then sieve the water and pour it in a glass bottle and keep it. Take a cotton swab and soak it in this water and wipe your face thoroughly with it and do not dry the face with anything. In a few days your face will start glowing because this acts as a natural cleanser.
Make powder of masoor ki daal and add lemon juice to make a paste and apply it to your face, this will remove dark circles.
