Blame it on scorching heat, hormonal changes, aging, or skin conditions, dark spots and patches can be a disconcerting experience. There’s no denying that dark spots, also known as hyperpigmentation, can be instantly corrected with home remedies, but applying certain remedies topically on a daily basis can yield positive results in lightening dark spots and reducing uneven pigmentation. Here are some age-old remedies that can significantly reduce hyperpigmentation and lighten dark spots.
1. Raw potato slices
Rapid Home Remedies says potatoes are packed with nutrients, including B vitamins, which aid in skin cell renewal, as well as niacinamide, known for its skin-brightening properties. (Who knew something as ordinary as a potato could be so vibrant?)
To combat the effects of hyperpigmentation, Rapid Home Remedies recommends rubbing a slice of raw potato on your face three to four times a day for up to 10 minutes at a time. If the potato is too dry or abrasive, the site also suggests moistening the slice with water. Over time, you may notice a reduction in your dark spots.
