Pigment spots can be a problem at any age and you can find them on different parts of your body. Most often, however, they appear on the skin of the hands and face. They can arise for various reasons:
- sun exposure
- pregnancy
- use of hormonal contraception
- from acne scars
- unhealthy lifestyle
- excessive stress
Most commonly, however, they appear after excessive sun exposure. If we do not adequately protect our skin with sunscreens, our cells begin to actively produce the pigment melanin and that is exactly why pigment spots occur. To get rid of them, we do not have to buy expensive creams. It can be done simply, without chemicals, from ingredients you can even find at home.
Parsley and lemon
For this homemade preparation you will need only three ingredients – 200 ml of water, 2 tablespoons of parsley and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Let the water and parsley boil for about 15 minutes, then you need to let the decoction cool, strain it, add the lemon juice and store it in the refrigerator. Apply the decoction twice a day – morning and evening – to the pigment spots. The first results should appear after 24 hours. Repeat the process until the spots disappear completely.
Olive oil with sugar
For this mixture you need to mix 2 tablespoons of sugar and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Apply the mixture to the dark spots, massage it in, leave it on for five minutes and then rinse with water.
