4 Ways To Remove Dark Spots On Skin

One of the most common skin issues dealt with is hyper-pigmentation, dark sports or melasma. While all of these issues are different in their own ways, they all lead to discoloration and an uneven skin tone. This can be one of the most obnoxious issues that impede the skin from being as youthful and glowing like it should.

While there are ways to cover up these spots with makeup, most people would prefer a way to even out their skin tone through their skin care regimen. Here are the top 4 ways to remove dark spots on the skin.

Lemon Oil

Lemon oil and lemon peel oil are both great aids for those who deal with any type of dark spot on the skin. This is due to the natural acidic and bleaching agents within the fruit and rind. A lemon has just the right amount and type of these components so it's completely safe and helpful for the skin.

Sometimes using fresh lemons is not possible or convenient, this is where using the oils comes in and truthfully, this is the most cost effective option. Use a couple of drops of this oil on your entire face, or if you want to really target those troublesome spots, put the oil directly on your darker marks.

Aloe Vera

This is one of the greatest options because of its healing properties. There is a reason that many people treat sunburn with aloe vera. It has amazing properties that have tremendous restorative qualities for the skin. Fresh aloe vera is preferred so if you don't have access to a plant, it may be a good investment to get one.

Open a leaf and the gel will be easily accessible. Rub the gel all over the darkened spots and leave it on the face for at least 45 minutes. Do this once a day until you start to see improvement.

Castor Oil

This oil is very good for the skin as a natural moisturizer, but it can also be used to even out the skin tone. If you have any type of discoloration or dark spots that you no longer want to look at, incorporate this into your regimen and be astonished by just how effective it is.

With it's strong healing properties, it helps to eliminate the build up that so readily contributes to the darkened spots. Use a cotton ball for application. The oil is thick so make sure you rub it over the skin evenly. Leave it on for at least at hour and then wash it off.

Apple Cider Vinegar

This is another ingredient that is phenomenal for the skin in a myriad of different ways. It's great for skin that is oily or prone to dark spots. This is because it has drying properties that help to eliminate the appearance of the the spots at a fast rate. It is incredibly important that the vinegar be diluted because it can be quite strong if it's used alone. Use a small bit of the vinegar in water as a toner and focus on the darkened parts of the face.
