Are you struggling with an uneven skin tone and unwanted dark spots on your face? Pigmentation can be difficult to get rid of, but with the right natural remedies, it is possible to achieve a more even complexion. Here we explore effective home remedies to help reduce pigmentation on the face.
Apply Aloe Vera Gel.
Aloe vera is rich in vitamins, minerals and other active ingredients that have a soothing, anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. To use aloe vera to reduce pigmentation, cut open an aloe vera leaf and scrape out the gel. Apply this gel directly to your clean face and leave it on for around 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
Make a potato mask.
Did you know that potato juice can be used to help lighten pigmentation on the skin? To make a mask, take one large potato and grate it into a bowl. Strain the liquid until it is smooth and then apply it directly to your face. Leave on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Repeat this process regularly to see results over time.
Try orange and lemon juice masks.
Orange and lemon juice are helpful for reducing the effects of pigmentation thanks to the citric acid they contain. Create a mask by mixing equal parts of both these juices with a teaspoon of honey. Apply this mixture to your face, leave on for 10 minutes and rinse off with warm water. Be sure to use these masks no more than twice a week as citrus juices can be quite harsh on the skin if used too frequently!
Use fuller’s earth (multani mitti) as a face pack.
Fuller’s earth is known to be effective in treating pigmentation and improving skin tone. Simply combine three teaspoons of the clay with two tablespoons of rose water and half a teaspoon of honey. Apply this solution all over your face, leave on for 15 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water. This should be done at least once a week for visible results.
