i read somewhere that if you mix lemon with flour and milk, leave it on for about 15 minutes and wash it off with warm water will lighten your skin. is that true?? or is it just with milk and no flour??

Role of lemon
The natural acidity of the lemon is part of what makes it such an ideal bleaching agent. Lemons are filled with citric acid, which is a fairly mild acid. For one thing, the lemon juice will help exfoliate your skin, which will remove older, dead cells from your skin surface and let the newer cells come to the top. This will often improve your skin's appearance and can help lighten your skin tone. The lemon juice will also work as a bleaching agent, helping to dissolve and eliminate some of the melanin pigment that is causing your darker skin.
Role of milk
Milk has two ways in which it helps lemon juice bleach your skin. First, it helps soften up your skin, which is important for letting the lemon juice penetrate the skin layers. Lemon juice works best as a bleaching agent when it can get past the top few layers of skin, which are already dead. Secondly, applying lemon juice to your skin can dry it out, which means that while your skin tone will gradually get lighter, it will also get dry and may flake.
Benefits of using lemon and milk
One of the main benefits of using lemon and milk to bleach your skin is that both products are natural. While there are a lot of skin bleaching creams and lotions that are commercially available, these products contain a lot of synthetic chemicals which can damage your skin in the long run. In addition, using milk and lemon juice as a way of lightening your skin is far cheaper than buying expensive cosmetic products. Another advantage of using milk and lemon juice is that you can add in other ingredients, such as almonds, to help enhance the effects

pls don't do that. Lime will hurt your skin. Milk should be alright.
Soak a piece of cloth with milk in the fridge, then wait for about few hours, then you can put it as mask on your face. Result is good.
Alternatively, you may also use this method, apply whitenning serum before putting on mask, check the details from this website http://www.ibeautytip.com/BeautyTip/beauty-tip-5-facial-mask-discovery/

Try A fade cream Like Palmers Fade cream or Dermaclear in these two product can be found at any drug store or beauty supply. The main ingredient in these creams called hydoquinone Most of bleaching creams have 2% hydoquinone in it. To get a higher dosage of hydrquinone you must get a percription from your doctor. Use a sunscreen after application prior to going outdoors.

No,I think the best way is still to avoid the sun at all cost and put on moisturiser with UV protection all the time.
