  1. I STRONGLY advise against the lemon essential oil applied to the skin. It is too strong. Most citrus essential oils are photosensitizing, Meaning you'll get a skin reaction from sun exposure. And lemon's one of them.

    I don't know of any essential oils to lighten the skin but if you are trying to heal blemishes and scars from blemishes some oils that come to mind are Lavender, calendula and rose. All of these I would seek oil in a diluted form, like in a cream or a carrier oil, like almond.  Borage seed oil and Tamanu oil also have healing properties for the skin and blemishes. Tea Tree oil is good for applying to the blemishes to get rid of them.


  2. Plreadpost which tells about essentialoils,

  3. Lavender & Bergamot

    T-tree oil is great to dry out blemishes...

  4. Aloe vera

  5. "kinshukadi Tailam" an oil prepared by any Ayurvedic pharmacy should prove to be the most suitable for your problem. Besides removing the blemishes it also has the property to make the skin lighter and glowful.

    I have used the product manufactured by M/S Mohata Ayurvedic Rasayanshala, Station Road,  BIKANER , Rajasthan, India.; and found the product excellent for my grand daughter who was slighty blakish in complexion. Now she has improved as wheatish complexion with glowing skin.

  6. i believe that it is lemon essential oil.
