GET RID OF BROWN SPOTS
Saturday 04th, October 2008
  1. Freckles/Brown Spots:Here are some natural remedies that will clear some of your freckles!
    • Apply sour lemon cream on your face. Do not rinse this mask off completely; gently wipe off with a soft tissue and top it up with a moisturizer.
    • Lemon juice is a tried and tested remedy for treating freckles. Apply lemon juice with your fingers on the affected area; lemon juice bleaches the dark spots.
    • Regular use of fruit and vegetable masks such as those made with apricots, strawberries, cucumbers and red currant will help lighten freckles.
    • Wash your face with sour milk. Lactic acid promotes gentle peeling of skin minus the irritation or dryness.
    • Heat honey slightly and apply to face, tap face gently with your fingers. Wash honey off with warm water then rinse with cool water. Stir in a little quantity of wheat germ into the honey before applying.
    • Horseradish juice or horseradish vinegar, or oatmeal dabbed on the skin is also helpful in lightening freckles.
    • Apply parsley juice mixed with equal amounts of lemon juice, orange juice, and red currant juice under your favorite cream will help you keep your freckles invisible.
    • Apply odorless olive oil or vitamin E at night before going to bed.
    • Dissolve some sugar in the juice of one lemon. Apply mixture to each freckle with a brush.
  2. Grind yellow mustard in milk and apply to the face during the night. Wash your face the next morning.
    • Onions also can be used for removing freckles and age spots. Slice a red onion in half and rub on the spots twice daily. Continue until the spots fade.
    • Applying buttermilk on freckles is thought to help in lightening them.
    • Mix an equal quantity of turmeric and sesame seeds. Grind in water and apply to the face.
    • Take a watermelon, make a hole in its rind and introduce some grains of rice in it. Take out the rice after 9 weeks. Be sure to put it in the fridge! Grind into a paste and apply on the face.
    • To lighten freckles, mash 1/4 cup of unripe currants and mix with 1 tbsp. of unpasteurized honey. Put on freckles and leave on for half an hour. Rinse off with warm water and dab on diluted fresh lemon juice.
    • if you have sensitive skin, don\'t apply lemon on your face, it could sting!
    • Not all of these will work for each person.
