Hello Sireesha,

Thanks for your email. Try one of these two simple, inexpensive, natural skin lighteners --

lemon juice or an aspirin mask.

• The lemon juice treatment is easy, just squeeze the juice of a 1-2 lemons into a bowl and using a cotton ball, rub the juice all over your face and other places (like the tops of your hands) that have dark spots. Leave on for 15-20 min and rise off. Follow with a good moisturizer and sun screen. It’s best to do this at night before going to bed – in that case skip the sun screen.

• Aspirin Mask- I love this one because it also makes you skin feel smooth. Crush up 2-3 NON-coated aspirins and mix with water and (if your skin is really dry a little honey). Make a paste and apply to your skin, especially the areas with dark spots. Leave on for 20-30 min and rinse off. Again, follow with moisturizer and sun screen if you’re going outside. Note: Make sure aspirin is not coated. If it is, it will read “Coated “right on the front label.

Hope this helps,

Dark Patches

I have Dark patches in the inner side of my thighs. Suggest a Suitable home made remedy.

Hello,

Short of using a skin bleaching cream there is not much that can help you completely eliminate the discoloration

But you can try lemon juice, which can help fade it a bit. Take a cotton ball, dip it in fresh lemon juice and dab the spot a few times a day. A difference should be visible in a few weeks.

Hope this helps,
