Hi,

Here is a home-made solution for your problem:

Mix one tbsp powdered oatmeal, a little cucumber or grape juice and enough sour yoghurt to make a paste.

Apply it on the affected areas. Leave it on till it dries, and rinse.

OR

Mix equal quantities of almond oil and malt vinegar.

Apply it on your neck one hour prior to bathing, and rinse.

Other Options:

Even complexion: Mix one tsp honey, one tsp curd and two tsps lemon juice. Apply it on your neck, and rinse after 20 minutes.

Then, apply pure almond oil on your neck, and massage.

Follow this routine daily.

Also

Use this remedy twice a week: Mix cucumber, ripe papaya pulp, one tsp curd, one tsp lemon juice, half tsp honey and 2 tsps oatmeal.

Apply this pack on your neck, and rinse after 30 minutes.

It works.

Hey Gals,
I have a very effective solution for your problem but it isnt a home remedy...but trust me it does work pretty well....(it did for me)....all u gotto do is buy Glyaha HQ Lotion, which contains Glycolic Acid and Hydroquinone , both of which have effective skin lightening properties..u juss have to apply a pea sized amount of it morning and evening after cleaning the area....n dont forget to use a good sunscreen afterwards...the result should be visible within a 2 weeks....hope this helps
cheers

its good suggestion

The glycolic acid and hydroquinone r good suggestions BUT do not forget to use sunscreen during daytime. These products make ur skin more sensitive to sun. So protect ur skin from the UVAs and UVBs.
Good luck for the wedding!
