Natural ways to reduce hyperpigmentation and remove dark spot:
1. Apply organic aloe vera gel to the skin twice a day (morning and
night), after washing. Aloe vera gel is a moisturizer that heals skin irritation
and lightens the skin.
2. Apply a moisturizing honey and lemon juice mask before bed every night,
before you wash your skin. To make the mask, mix 1 tsp. of honey with 1 tsp. of
lemon juice. Apply the mask to the skin and leave it on for 15 minutes. After 15
minutes, rinse the mask off with warm water. Wash skin with a mild soap and a
washcloth. The honey moisturizes the skin, and the lemon whitens the skin. The
lemon may cause a stinging sensation on the skin while the mask is on; this is
normal. With regular use, skin becomes accustomed to the lemon juice and the
stinging sensation lessens.
3. Apply a skin-brightening tomato and lime juice mask to the skin every
morning before you wash. To make the brightening mask, blend 1 tomato and the
juice of 1 lime in a blender. Apply a thin layer of the brightening mask to the
skin and leave on for 15 minutes. The extra amount of brightening mask can be
stored in a closed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. After 15
minutes, rinse the skin with cold water. Wash skin with a mild soap and a
washcloth. The tomato and lime whiten the skin and give it a bright appearance.
The lime juice may cause a stinging sensation on the skin; this is normal. With
regular use, skin becomes accustomed to the lime juice, and the stinging
sensation lessens.
4. Exfoliate your skin once a week with sugar and olive oil. Mix 1 tbsp. of
olive oil with 1 tbsp. of white granulated table sugar to make a paste. Use your
fingers to gently rub the paste into the skin with a circular motion. Be careful
around the eye area to avoid getting the paste into the eyes. The exfoliant
removes dead cells off the surface layer of the skin, exposing new, fresh skin
and encouraging the growth of new skin.
5. Wash your skin twice a day with a mild soap and a washcloth. Use the
washcloth to rub the soap in the skin and to rinse the soap off the skin. The
washcloth mildly exfoliates the skin to encourage the shedding of dead cells.
