Lemon
Lemon is one of the best ingredients that you can use to get clear skin. The citric acid present in lemon helps keep the skin clear and its vitamin C content helps reduce dark spots.
Directions: Apply fresh-squeezed lemon juice to your entire face and neck. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water. After this, rub cucumber slices on your skin to soften and moisturize it. Do this daily or every other day.

Turmeric
Turmeric is an excellent antiseptic and skin-lightening agent that helps minimize scars and other marks.
Directions: Make a paste by mixing equal amounts of turmeric powder and gram flour with a little water or milk. Apply it evenly on your skin and leave it on until it dries. Wash it off with lukewarm water, scrubbing your skin gently in a circular motion. Follow this remedy once a week to lighten your skin tone and remove scars.
Aloe vera has many benefits for the skin. It has antibacterial properties that help kill bacteria that causes acne, and can also help to soothe irritated skin and heal scars. It’s also a great natural skin moisturizer.
Directions: Extract the gel from an aloe vera leaf. Apply the gel on your face using a cotton ball. Allow it to dry on its own for about half an hour, and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Baking Soda
Baking soda balances pH levels of the skin, which is very important to maintain clear skin. Plus, it helps to deal with problems like acne, pimples, and spots. It also works as an excellent exfoliating agent.
Directions: Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with one teaspoon of water or lemon juice and make a paste. Cleanse your face and use the paste to gently exfoliate the skin.

Cucumber
Cucumbers contain hydrating, nourishing and astringent properties that are very good for skin. They can improve the overall appearance of your skin by adding a fresh glow.
Directions: Cut a fresh cucumber into thick slices, and rub them thoroughly all over your face. Leave it on overnight and rinse with warm water in the morning. Do this daily before going to bed.
