The 11 Best Way To Remove Dark Spots And Get Flawless Skin

Oct 18, 2018

Did you know that skin conditions are among the most common physical maladies that people acquire? That is because your skin is actually your body’s largest organ, and according to recent statistics, up to approximately 80% of the people in this world are affected by common skin conditions like acne for at least a part of their lives.

Another common skin condition is the sudden appearance of dark spots. They may start to appear out of the blue, regardless of your age. While some people embrace them, others find them annoying or unattractive. If you belong to the latter, there is no need to worry. There are several easy-to-follow remedies that you can try today to virtually erase any trace of discoloration. 

Sometimes it’s actually as easy as refraining from doing things that you may not have realized are actually harmful to your skin. After all, there are many reasons that these dark spots seemingly start to appear out of nowhere, and there are also many natural cures that you can utilize to eliminate them.

Well, that is simple. Just remember, they do not actually appear out of thin air. Scientists have proven over time that there is always a reason for their emergence.

It could be hormonal changes due to your period, pregnancy, or lactation, inflammation, chemical reactions from medications you are taking, health issues such as liver or kidney disease (where it may be difficult to break down toxins in the body), simple aging or prolonged sun exposure.

And, sometimes they are nothing more than mere freckles, and they are not even worth panicking over. If you don´t like freckles, remember, they are mostly temporary. 

If you do not like your dark spots, we have you covered. Here are 11 ways to prevent dark spots or eliminate them after they first appear:

Spending too much time in direct sunlight can cause dark patches on your skin. This is because the UV rays cause a chemical reaction triggering the production of melanin, the pigment naturally found in your skin, hair, and the irises of your eyes, darkening your skin instantly (just think of tanning as a more even reaction to the sun-provoked production of melanin).

Melanin is actually a natural defense mechanism against solar radiation, and comes out in full force when skin is exposed directly to sunlight, so always remember to wear sunscreen if you are going to be in the sun for any extended amount of time.

If you tried many home remedies, but feel that your skin is failing to improve, or it is actually becoming worse than it was when you started treatment, you may need to see a doctor.

There are many reasons why dark spots can suddenly appear on the skin, and while most are benign, there are still serious concerns that one should consider when spots fail to go away, or they start to increase in size or change shape. It is possible that you may be dealing with skin cancer, or they may be a sign of another illness affecting a different part of your body.

Some medications may cause dark spots on skin even without causing a person to become photosynthetic, or more sensitive to the sun (although some medications do have this as a side effect, and should indicate such on the packaging).

If you are prone to dark patches on your skin, and the medicine is not 100% necessary, it may be time to cut down on it or stop taking it completely.

Aloe Vera is a plant that contains amazing skin-nourishing and anti-aging properties. You can purchase it almost anywhere plants are sold, cut the leaves in half, and rub the excrement gently on your skin. Let the juices dry naturally and then rinse your face with water.

Lemon contains whitening properties that can help you eliminate those nasty spots. You can either apply the juices with a cotton pad and rinse it off with water (after it dries), or you can make a honey and lemon juice face mask to even your skin’s tone while also exfoliating and nourishing your skin. You’ll see results after a couple of weeks.

Simply mix equal parts apple cider vinegar and water to create a toner only nature could put together. Apply the mix to your face and allow it to dry and rinse it off with plain water. If you do this every day, eventually all your spots should start to fade.

If you mix a tablespoon of oats with two tablespoons of natural, additive-free yogurt, you will not only have a delicious, healthy snack, but you will create a great whitening facial mask. Let it sit for about 20 minutes then wash it off with cold water.

Use the natural acids found in pineapples to whiten dark patches and even skin tone. Just use a cotton pad to rub the juices into affected areas of the skin and rinse it clean with water after about 5 minutes. As an alternative, you can simply slice the fruit and rub it directly on your dark spots.

Due to its moisturizing and anti-bacterial properties, most women in the know already use coconut oil as part of their everyday beauty regimen. But, did you know it can actually whiten dark spots if used over time? Just rub it into the skin and allow it to be absorbed completely.

With an abundance of Vitamin C, orange peels are a fantastic remedy for almost all skin conditions. You can make an easy face mask at home by mixing a tablespoon of orange peel powder and 3 tablespoons of milk. Apply the mixture to your face, and after 15 minutes, rinse it off with plain water.

Potatoes work wonders for both dark spot erasure and the drying up of chronic acne. Just rub the juices over affected areas or apply a potato slice over each dark patch. Let the juices soak in and after a few minutes, rinse your face with cold water. After about a week, if you do this daily, you are sure to see positive results.

These remedies have helped many women conquer the dark, discolored patches that they were unfortunate enough to find on their faces. Would you be willing to try any of them?
