If store-bought products aren’t the way you want to go, a long-hailed homemade option is using lemon juice as a topical treatment.
This is because it is packed with lots of vitamin C as well as being a natural bleaching agent, known to lighten the appearance of dark spots.
Here’s how to use it:
Step 1: simply squeeze some fresh lemon juice onto a cotton pad
Step 2: dab the cotton pad onto the affected area
Step 3: leave the lemon juice to soak into to the skin for at least 10 minutes
Step 4: wash your face with warm water to remove the excess juice
Step 5: repeat steps 1-4 once a day for best results for normal skin. Miss a day between treatments if your skin is dry and/or sensitive
*If irritation occurs, stop using immediately and allow your skin to recover before using any acidic products on your face
