Share

Lemon Juice and Apple Cider Vinegar

  • Lemon juice is a good way to bleach out the brown spots. Apply it to the brown spots on your face twice a day. You should see results in a couple of months.
  • Drink apple cider vinegar and this may result in a reduction of your brown spots.
  • Put a couple of drops of vinegar in a glass of water and pour it down the hatch. If you can't stand the taste of the vinegar, add some honey.
  • Mix equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and a blended onion and then apply this mixture to the brown spots. Results should be noticeable in five to six months.

Sunscreen, Make a Paste

  • Keep your brown spots covered when you are outside. If you don't, the spots will get even darker. Wear a sunscreen or a hat to protect your face.
  • Put sandal powder and rose water on your brown spots. This will result in a paste. Leave it on as you would a masque for 15 minutes or so. This is said to be effective in diminishing brown spots.
  • Make a concoction out of rosemary oil, vinegar, radish and lime juice. Apply this to the dark spot. This cleanses and brightens the skin and may reduce brown spots.

Castor Oil

Castor oil is not a bleaching agent, such as lemon, but it will improve the texture of your skin.

Onions

Chop up an onion, squeeze the juice out of and dip a cotton ball into the juice. Put this on your age spots,

Aloe Vera

Consider using aloe vera on your brown spots. Aloe vera has healing properties and it will help even out your complexion.

Vitamin E

Apply vitamin E oil to your spots. In addition, you may opt to take a vitamin E supplement. Vitamin E is considered an anti-oxidant. It fights free radicals, such as smoke and pollution.

Try This Mixture

 Mix together ¼ cup of organic yogurt with 1/8 cup of organic apple cider. Add the juice from ¼ of a lemon and 1 tbsp. of aloe vera gel. Apply this concoction to your face. Leave it on your face until it dries. Afterward apply a lightening solution such as hydroquinone (which is found in skin care products) or some more lemon juice and let it dry. Follow this with a moisturizer.

Consult With Your Physician

Generally, these dark spots are benign and don't pose any problems other than that they may not be aesthetically pleasing. However, these spots can also be indicative of nutritional deficits and impaired liver function. If, however, your spots are changing in texture and color or increasing in size, you need to point this out to your physician.
