‘Even out your complexion with home remedies’

Whatever the cause of your dark spots is, home remedies are the best solution for your skin problems since they work naturally without any side effects as opposed to lightening products.  Patience is what you need though, as home remedies take longer to work.

Apple cider vinegar mixed with mashed red onions and applied with a cotton pad directly on black spots acts as exfoliator. It also helps lighten dark spots.

No need to throw out milk that has gone bad. Wash your face with sour milk; the acid in milk has a gentle peeling effect which lightens skin without irritating it like the commercial acid peels.

Most citruses, such as oranges and limes are rich in vitamin C, which is a natural bleaching agent. Of all citrus fruits, however, lemon is considered the most effective home remedy for facial dark spots. The citric acid in lemon juice will work to bleach the spots and clarify your skin.

Strawberries are good for conditioning and skin-toning treatment. They are rich in salicylic acid, an ingredient found in many commercial acne creams; hence, they are the best treatment for troubled or teenage skin. Mix ½ cup fresh strawberries with a teaspoon of sour cream for a weekly facial mask.

Bananas are rich in protein and natural fats and can be used to nourish and moisturise all skin types.  Apply mashed banana and keep it for a minimum of 15 minutes.  Rinse with warm water and moisturise well.
