Sun spots are not a rarely faced skin problem if you happen to spend your day under the sun on a regular basis. The worst affected parts of the body are those which are exposed the most. Although not harmful, sun spots that can be either darker or lighter than your skin color can result in uneven skin tone. Protection from UV rays is imperative to keep the skin unaffected from solar lentigines or sun spots. The best way to deal with it is by staying indoors or using an umbrella. But the fact remains that very few can afford to do so.
Here Are 5 Home Remedies To Lighten Sun Spots
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera has cooling and healing qualities that can reduce sun spots significantly. You can easily use aloe vera gel by taking out the ice looking pulp and apply directly on the face. Regular use of this gel for two months or so can lighten the spots to great effect.
Lemon Juice
Some amount of acidic treatment is required to lighten sun spots. Having mild acids, lemon juice can be applied for lightening sun spots. What’s more, lemon juice application on the skin speeds up the process of generating new skin cells and removal of dead ones. Apply lemon juice on spots for twenty minutes on the affected and splash some cold water afterwards. If you have dry skin, moisturize your skin well after applying lemon juice to avoid any further dryness in skin. And if your skin is sensitive, it is advisable to use the diluted form of this home remedy.
Apple Cider Vinegar With Lemon Juice
ACV and lemon juice combine alpha hydroxyl acids and citric acid in natural form. Mix both the ingredients half a teaspoon each and apply the mixture on the sun spot ridden area in with cotton ball. Leaving the mixture unwashed overnight can give better results.
Green Tea
