Lemon Juice

o Lemon (or other citrus) juice is an excellent tried and true skin lightener. Simply apply some of the juice to your dark spots and let it dry.

Aloe Vera

o If you have an aloe vera plant, cut open one of the spikes and apply the juice directly to your skin. However, a store-bought aloe-vera extract helps to lighten dark spots on the face as well
Home remedies for skin lightening consist of common foods found in your refrigerator. According to "The Doctors Book of Home Remedies," the juice from one lemon contains enough acid to slough off the outer layers of damaged skin, gradually fading and reducing age spots. Another common food equalling a lemon's acidity is the red onion. One slice of red onion, rubbed into the skin daily is also touted with natural bleaching abilities for the skin.
