Natural methods are safer than chemical creams to remove dark spots caused by sunburn and hormonal changes. Try the following:
1. Aloe vera and lemon juice
The ‘aloein’ in aloe vera helps reduce the dark color of the skin.
How to do it: Mix a little lemon juice in fresh aloe vera gel and apply it on your face. Wash it off with cold water after 20 minutes. The vitamin C in lemon juice will act as a bleaching agent.
2. Yogurt and turmeric
The lactic acid in yogurt removes dead skin cells and fades dark spots.
How to do it: Mix a spoonful of yogurt and a pinch of turmeric powder and apply it on the areas with dark spots. Let it dry and then wash it off.
3. Papaya Mask
The enzyme ‘papain’ in papaya is very good for enhancing skin tone.
How to do it: Mash a ripe papaya and apply it on your face. This will help reduce the severity of dark spots and whiten your face.
4. Potato Juice
There is nothing better than potatoes to remove dark spots.
How to do it: Grate a potato and extract its juice and apply it on your face. Doing this daily will help the dark spots fade slowly.
5. Tomato Juice
The lycopene in tomatoes prevents dark spots caused by sunlight.
How to do it: Mix tomato juice and a little honey and apply it on your face to brighten your skin.
Special notes:
Sunscreen: People with dark spots should definitely use sunscreen when going out in the sun. Sunlight will increase dark spots.
Drink Water: Drink plenty of water daily to keep your skin glowing from within.
Kasturi Turmeric: Kasturi turmeric is more beneficial for the face than regular turmeric.
