Natural Ways to Combat Dark Spots & Uneven Skin Tone





Vitamin C


Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits such as oranges, limes & lemons. Vitamin C is a natural brightening agent. It lightens, brightens, & tightens the skin. Leaving your skin with a more even balanced tone and over all glow.


Lactic Acid


Lactic acid can be found in milk & milk powders. The most effective milks would be butter milk & goats milk, which can be found in your local grocery store. Milk powders can be found online or in some natural/organic stores. Lactic acid gently exfoliates dead skin cells which allows for new skin cells to generate. Leaving your skin more even & refreshed.


Enzymes


Enzymes can be found in fruits such as papaya, pineapple, & pumpkin. Enzymes are also found in plain yogurt. These enzymes gently exfoliate dead skin cells allowing for new cells to surface. When used in combination with steam it allows for deeper penetration. Leaving your skin more even & refreshed .
A Few Recipes to try :


Mix 1 tsp of milk powder, 1 tsp of honey, 1 tsp of lemon juice, and ½ tsp of almond oil. Apply on face and rinse the remaining residue after 10-15 minutes. This will lighten tanned skin and will make skin glow.

Mix lime/lemon juice with turmeric powder and apply it on the skin. Apply on face and rinse the remaining residue after 10-15 minutes.
Mix plain yogurt, papaya pulp (pureed) & lime juice. Apply on face and rinse the remaining residue after 10-15 minutes. *add steam its optional.
