Remove Dark Spots Fast with Natural Remedies

Dark spots and scars are unattractive and being a 20’s something girl I can understand that better. We women go about to any extent to get rid of them. This eventually results in spending thousands of bucks on purchasing expensive scar creams and dark spots removal treatments. I too did the same for treating the scars and dark spots on my skin. At the end, I was not only out of money but also disappointed with the results. Most of these treatments and products include a mix of moisturizers, unproven fillers, and chemicals.

Natural Ways to Treating Scars and Dark Spots on Legs and Face

Luckily, my grandma helped me get through the trouble. She unfolded the secrets to treating scars and dark spots through natural treatments. Here I share my knowledge with you.

Effective ingredients for removal of dark spots

Lemon Juice

Lemon juice has lots of vitamin C that makes it an ideal ingredient for treating dark spots. It can also be used as an exfoliating agent due to its acidic nature. It gently removes the hyper-pigmented skin and gradually exposes the fairer skin.

  • Get one cup fresh lemon juice
  • Dab a cotton ball in the juice and apply it to the dark spots directly

  • Repeat the procedure at least three to four times a week.
  • You’ll see visible results from the second week

Quick tip- For best results use fresh lemon juice that has no added preservatives.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is one of my favourite kitchen ingredients for skin care. It contains Amino acids, sulphur, vitamins, and acetic acids, which makes it perfect for treating dark spots.

Though I don’t like the smell of red onions, but can’t ignore that the fact that they are quite effective for dark spots removal. Red Onions have high sulphur and acidity content that cause skin whitening, while lighting the dark spots on the skin.

Aloe Vera’s anti-inflammatory properties reduce skin irritation and eliminate dead skin from the body. It also strengthens the new cells and repairs damaged skin cells.
