Skin whitening is a way to reduce or eliminate scars, age spots, port wine stains, freckles and other skin discolorations. In reality, the skin is not whitened. Skin-whitening products bleach the hyper-pigmented areas of skin to achieve a more even complexion. Skin-whitening products go by other names, such as fade creams, bleaching creams or skin lighteners. But they all perform essentially the same function. The main difference is the ingredients.

Whitening your skin at home is a cheap and safe way to get the results you want. Whether you are trying to fade scars, freckles, age spots or skin discolorations, home remedies are easy to find and use. Skin whitening really doesn't involve whiten the skin. Instead the process is lightening or bleaching dark or hyper-pigmented areas. These homemade remedies are effective for small areas, but the best skin lightening treatments are only available with an expensive visit to a doctor.
