Toothpaste, sugar and lemon won’t make your skin fair
short by / on Friday, 9 January, 2026

While people believe these kitchen hacks lighten complexion, dermatologists warn they disrupt skin pH and can cause irritation, redness and sensitivity. Real glow comes from safe, evidence-based skincare, not Instagram tricks.
