• Rose water helps reduce skin inflammation, which in turn also helps reduce redness.

Empty the cream into the jar and store in the refrigerator. Once you've mixed the rose water, you can scoop the cream into a sealed jar or other container. Since the ice cream contains yogurt, you need to keep it in the refrigerator. Usually the cream can last 1 to 2 weeks, but you should not use it if you see signs of mold.

• If the recipe above is too much to use up before the ice cream spoils, divide all the ingredients in half and mix in a smaller batch.

Apply the cream at night. For best results, you need to use the cream every day. However, since lactic acid makes skin more sensitive to sunlight, it's best to take it at night. Gently massage the cream into your skin before going to bed and wash your face the next morning with warm water and a commonly used cleanser.

• Some skin types are sensitive to vitamin C and lactic acid. If you have sensitive skin, it's best to only apply the cream every 2 nights until the skin has adapted to the ingredients.

Method 2 of 2: Mix skin whitening lotion with almonds

1. 

   Grind almonds with a food blender. Add 5-6 unsalted almonds to a food processor. Grind until the almonds become a fine powder, which may take 5-6 seconds.
   • If you don't have a food blender, you can use a coffee grinder to grind almonds.
   • Almonds are rich in vitamin E, an antioxidant that works to prevent sun damage and darken skin.

2. 

   
   
   Mix ground almonds with yogurt, honey and lemon juice. Place ground almonds in a small bowl with 1 cup (250 g) of unsweetened organic yogurt, 1 teaspoon (7 g) honey and 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of lemon juice. Stir all ingredients thoroughly.
   • Yogurt is high in lactic acid, which exfoliates the skin, helping to lighten dark spots.
   • Honey contains antioxidants that help fight the harmful effects of sunlight and darken the skin.
   • Lemon juice is high in vitamin C, which can prevent dark skin.

3. 

   Empty the cream into the jar and store in the refrigerator. Once all the ingredients are mixed, pour the cream into a sealed jar or container. Store the cream in the refrigerator to keep the yogurt from spoiling.
   • The cream can be stored for 1-2 weeks. However, if you see any signs of mold contamination, you need to throw it out.
   • You can split the recipe in half if you don't see all the cream in 1-2 weeks.

4. 

   
   
   Apply the cream before going to bed. Since the lactic acid in yogurt can make the skin sensitive to the sun, it's best not to use the cream during the day. Apply the cream at night before bed for best results.
   • If you have sensitive skin, start using the cream every other day or just a few times a week. Latic acid and vitamin C can irritate the skin, so it's best to get used to it slowly.
   • Be sure to wash off the cream the next morning with warm water and a gentle cleanser. Apply sunscreen before going outdoors.

Advice

• Use a whitening cream in combination with a sunscreen that has a sun protection factor of at least SPF 30. This will help prevent dark patches from forming.

Warning

• Even though the above creams are made from natural ingredients, they can still cause allergies. You should always test the skin reaction when applying it to your face. Apply a small amount of cream to face inside wrist or elbow and wait 24 hours. If the skin is not allergic, you can apply it all over.
