Love the tips but saddened by the title. Besan and haldi are part of my nightly routine because the mask fades discolorations from my dark black skin and reduces unwanted facial hair growth.

Colonialism too often continues to distort our self image. The idea that fair is beautiful and to be beautiful we must seek to be fair saddens me. Thankfully I was raised to embrace my color. I do not view these as fairness tips. They are tips for even colored, glowing, blemish free skin.

Natural food quality items are the best cosmetics in my opinion. This is what I love most about these tips. In addition they are quick and simple enough to encourage regular use.

Thanks! :-)

this article is surely informative but the first few sentences are very much wrong. wheatish or dark skin doesnt make anybody unattractive as a bride unless that girl has very average or below average overall facial features.same thing applies to fair complexion.if the features are nt good enough to carry a fair face,the complexion is nothing but surely a white distempered face.some people should change their opinions to try to write better articles in future.

You can also put Youghurt on your face for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off.!
Results will be shown within few days.
And if you dont want your skin to get tanned you should apply tomato juice for 10-15 minutes and then wash it off the day before exposing to sun! :)
Hope i helped!

these are great tips!
