7 Natural Home Remedies For Dark Spots On Face

7 Home Remedies For Dark Spots On Face

1. Aloe Vera

Aloe is good for more than burns and cuts – it’s also a natural way to lighten skin spots. Apply aloe vera gel directly to the area and leave it for 20 minutes, then rinse off.
 
 
2. Potato

Stick a potato in the fridge for a couple of hours until it’s good and cold. Cut off thin slices and apply them to the areas you want to fade for about five minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. It’s a great natural way to fade dark spots on the face.
 
 
3. Castor Oil

Castor oil should be in everyone’s medicine cabinet – it’s got antimicrobial properties as well as being an anti-inflammatory and analgesic. But it’s also great for fading those dark spots!

Just apply a little bit to your spots or freckles with a cotton ball twice daily.
 
 
4. Red Onion

Red onion is another piece of produce that has acids in its juice that can help fade skin spots.

Juice one red onion, or pop it in the blender or food processor to make a mash if you don’t have a juicer. Use a cotton swab to apply the juice to each spot and let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing off, then following up with a gentle cleanser.
 
 
5. Milk

Lactic acid, which is found in milk, is another ingredient that can lighten those freckles.

Twice a week, apply whole milk to the affected areas with a cotton ball. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then rinse it off with cold water

6. Yogurt

     Spread a little plain, unsweetened yogurt to dark spots and leave it sit for an hour before rinsing it off with cold water. Enzymes in the yogurt have been shown to fade age spots and sunspots.    

7. Lemon Juice

      

The acid in lemon juice has been used for years to lighten both hair and skin spots. Just squeeze the juice of one lemon into a bowl, and use a cotton ball to apply the juice to dark spots or freckles. Do this twice a day, as long as needed to achieve the desired effect.
