A lot of ladies and gents find treating acne extremely difficult but most times, all required are products or simple home remedies that work. While some acne are not serious (they require just simple routines with the right products to be treated) some maybe and in extreme cases, visits to a dermatologist may be the way out.
For common acne and dark spots, these two home remedies work perfectly to get rid of them:
1. Potato
Potatoes work well to lighten/brighten dark areas of the skin.
How to:
– Slice potatoes
– Place slice directly on areas of the faces with acne
-Leave this on for a few minutes (you’d find a position best for you to keep the potato slices on the areas)
-Wash the areas with warm water
This can be done as often as required.
2. Lemon Juice
Lemon and its juice contain Vitamin C that helps to lighten dark spots as well as brighten the skin.
How to:
– Squeeze out fresh juice from lemon
– Using cotton balls dipped in the fresh juice, apply this directly on affected areas of the skin
– Leave it on for a few minutes
– Rinse off with running tap water
NOTE: If you notice dryness, reduce the use of lemon juice or dilute with water
