Yes lemon can produce the desired result but use it at night. You will get a real pigmentation problem if used in the morning. Also please use a heavy coat of a really good sunblock preferably of a higher spf. The higher the better!!

Sadaf,
You have to drink 2 litre of water daily.there is no excuse from it.
No home remedy will benefit if you dont drink a lot of water.
Also try green tea.Regular green tea consumption will make your skin glow.

I've heard of lemon to lighten your hair but never your skin. I'd be careful because it's very acidic.
You can get a cream called Fade Out which is supposed to lighten skin and there are plenty of other skin lightening creams but I'm not sure how safe they are or if they would be suitable for anyone with sensitive skin.

Yes lemon does magic with skin.
Not Only lemon but any fruit from lemon family and with antioxidants will do it.Try oranges too.Take the skin of oranges and beat them until they start bleeding juice with a wooden hammer or something clean material.Now rub this orange skin on your face or hands and wash after some times.
Or you take a glass of water and make it luke warm.Now add 2 tea spoon of honey in it and drink it in the morning.
Or in a glass of luke warm water add lemon juice and drink it.do not add sugar.add honey instead.In 3 weeks you will see a big difference on your skin.
So finally i conclude that lemon does magic on skin and there are many ways to use it.
Have a nice day.
