I dont know if its skin or teeth you want to whiten. But plain yogurt will lighten brown spots over time. Just put on the freckles or spots you want to lighten before going to bed. Need to let it dry.

Glass Jars for Food Storage
I also save the glass jars too. But I find I have a hard time removing any smells from the lids. Like vinegars especially. I have soaked them and scrubbed them with baking soda but the smell is still there. Do any of you have a solution for this dilemma?
