Lighter skin
17/f, Mexican (if it matters)
Ok, so I've always had weird skin. My face is SOMEWHAT light, my legs are kind of dark, and my arms are really dark. I wanna even that out a bit. It'd be easy to tan, but I'd rather not get skin cancer, thank you very much, and frankly, dark skin wouldn't work for me. So I want to lighten my skin. I'm kind of a freak when it comes to weird chemicals and stuff, so I don't want to buy any of those bleaching creams or whatever (plus, I don't have the money). Anyone know any NATURAL ways to lighten skin? I've heard of using lemon/milk/potatoes, but I'm not sure how (I'm sure you don't just slather the stuff all over your body).

You can only get as light as the skin you were born with. Like, you can remove a tan but if you were born dark you can't really get lighter than you were originally.
Do not use products with hydroquinone or mercury in them bc that will damage your skin in the long run.
I personally use Shiseido whitening products for my face (they are high quality and a trusted brand) and for my body I use this papaya soap from the Philippines that works but slowly. The brand is Likas.
I've heard rice water or lemon juice works.
Here are several forum threads devoted to this:
