8 of the Best Natural Home Remedies to Remove Dark Spots
1. Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is naturally acidic and contains bleaching agents that will fade the dark pigment found in dark spots on the skin. All that is needed is fresh lemon juice applied to a cotton ball and then the affected area.
2. Aloe Vera
Fresh aloe (preferably from the plant) should be rubbed on the dark spot and left for about an hour. Rinse this off with cold water and repeat twice a day for a month.
3. Buttermilk
Buttermilk applied directly to the skin with a cotton swab will help tremendously with black spots. All that is needed is the application, wait a couple minutes, and then rinse. It’s really that easy. If you have acne or are prone to oily skin then mixing a little lemon juice to the buttermilk will work great. Adding tomato juice to the buttermilk is also recommended and highly beneficial.
4. Onion Juice
Red onion actually acts as a bleaching agent because it is highly acidic in nature. You can rub some raw onion directly onto dark spots on the skin and you will definitely see a difference in their appearance. If you don’t want to rub raw onions on your face, no one’s really going to blame you. You can instead combine one tablespoon of onion juice with two tablespoons of honey and apply this to your dark spots for about twenty minutes.
5. Papaya
Fresh papaya that has been smashed to a pulp or grated should be applied directly to the dark spots on the skin and left for at least twenty minutes.
6. Sugar Cubes
All you need to do is rub these little cubes on the affected area and they will naturally remove the dark spots.
7. Tomato Juice
You can take it orally once a day or rub the areas you want to heal with this mixture soaked on a cotton ball.
8. Castor Oil
All that is needed is castor oil applied to a cotton ball that is applied to the dark spots in the morning and in the evening. Creating a ritual of doing this daily will help to quickly fade dark spots away.
