dark spots

My nose quite darker than my cheeks. What should I do?

Hello,

You can try a skin bleaching or lightening cream and see if that helps. If it does not help or the darkness is really red blotches and your nose is swollen, it could rosacea. Click here to read more...Rosacea.

dark spots

by sumedha
(india)

Hi
I have oily skin and i am 23 years old. I also have dark spots all over my face left by pimples and acne.

I have a fair complexion which makes them very visible. Please suggest a home remedy to help get rid of dark spots and pimples.

Hello Sumedha,

First make sure your facial cleanser is pH balanced. Otherwise, you’ll aggravate your skin even more and produce more oil. Cetaphil (a drug store brand) is gentle and pH balanced.

Then try this Oily Skin Recipe and see how your skin reacts. Then a few times take a cotton ball and dip it in hydrogen peroxide or lemon juice and dab it on the red/dark scars/spots on your face. You can also try a skin bleaching/brightening cream, but some might find it irritating for long term use.

Dark Spots

by Sujatha
(Bangalore)

I have dark spots on my face especially on my chicks and chin. It is increasing and becoming broader nowadays. Please help me to cure this.

Hello Sujatha,

Thanks for your email. Here are 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.

Note: Make sure aspirin is not coated. If it is, it will read “Coated “right on the front label
Hope this helps,
