Dark spots, patches and other marks on the
face can be embarrassing at times and may
even lead to a low self esteem.
Dark spots may be due to excess secretion of
melanin on the skin, over exposure to the
sun, hormone imbalance, pregnancy, certain
medications, vitamin deficiencies, lack of
sleep and too much stress and so on.
Fortunately, there are many simple remedies
that may help reduce the appearance of spots
and other blemishes on your face. Below are
some remedies to clear those annoying spots.
1. Take a shower: When you are in the
shower, take the shower head and blast it in
your face, this will rinse out any impurities.
Washing your face also works fine.
However, this should not be done too often,
as it can break the fine capillaries on your
face. Also, do not blast the water on the skin
directly under your eyes as this area is too
delicate to withstand such force.
2. Steam: All you need do is boil a kettle of
water and carefully pour the boiling water
into a bowl. Hold your head over the bowl
and enclose your head and the bowl to trap
steam. Let the steam rise up and settle over
your face, it’s like a mini sauna. The steaming
will open your spots.
Do not place your face too close to the water
or steam as steam can burn just as easily as
hot water
3. Exfoliate: Get a good quality and reliable
spot exfoliator. Exfoliate once in the morning
and once in the evening.
4. Use Cream: You could make a homem*de
cream using yogurt.
Here’s how to prepare it:
Choose plain yogurt.
Add 2 tablespoons of yogurt to a small
container.
Add lime or lemon juice. Use 2 or 3 to get rid
of the spots, and squeeze them as hard as you
can.
Mix them both. Now you are done.
This should be used before you shower or
before bedtime.
