1 To lighten dark spots and acne marks, you can use fresh squeezed lemon juice and apply it to your entire face and neck. 2  Leave it on for 10 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. 3  You can do this daily or several times a week. 4  For soft, smooth skin, mix lemon juice from half a lemon and one egg white. Extract the gel from an aloe vera leaf and apply it on your skin a few times a week. 2  Alternatively, combine one tablespoon of aloe vera gel, two teaspoons of lemon juice and one teaspoon of honey. 3  Apply this mixture on your face and neck and rinse it off after 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Honey and lemon face pack is very effective in lightening the skin tone. Mix equal quantities of honey and lemon juice and apply it all over the face. Leave it for 20 minutes and wash it off with cold water. This will not just lighten the skin tone, but will also keep the skin supple and glowing. Many people use lemon and honey face mask as home treatment.
