It’s not always easy to get rid of dark spots. Dark spots and blemishes appear in an instant and take what seems like a lifetime to clear up. They can be formed by a number of things that include acne scars, UV rays from too much sun, maybe even your birth control. The CGS Team is sharing 5 easy ways to get rid of dark spots and feel comfortable in the skin your in.
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is one of the best fruits for your skin. If you haven’t already, read The Fruit that Gets Rid of Acne Scars. Lemon juice is full of antioxidants and vitamins that make your skin clear.
Cut fresh lemon into slices that you can squeeze into a container. Grab some cotton balls, dip them, and then rub them on the areas with dark spots. Let it dry for a few minutes then wash it off with some water.
Aloe
Like lemon this plant has so many great benefits for your skin. Cut up some aloe leaves and rub them in the areas you want to target (you can even rub it on your whole face). You can leave it on for extra moisture or wash it off with water.
Papaya
Yet another superfood! Papaya fruit has an enzyme that gets rid of any facial blemish. You can smash or grate it, apply it to dry skin, then leave it on your face for about 20 minutes before washing it off with water. You can mix it with honey for extra soft skin.
Proactiv Mark Correcting Pads
We’ve all seen the Proactiv commercials on tv, I’m sure. They are one of the most popular skin care brands and it is not without good reason. The brand’s mark correcting pads are designed specifically to clear any dark spot or blemish on your face. The pads include an ingredient called Glycolic acid in them which gently exfoliates your skin to remove the dead layers and bring out bright soft skin.
Origins Super Spot Remover
The Origins Super Spot Remover is normally for acne prone skin but, the formula also clears blemishes on any type of skin. The active ingredient is saw palmetto which calms and cools the skin to remove any burning sensation.
