Home Remedies for Dark Skin
In the case of dry as well as dark skin, your best bet is to exfoliate it regularly. You can make your own exfoliating scrub with sugar crystals, a few drops of lime juice and olive oil mixed to form a paste. This can be rubbed in rolling motions all over your dark spot. The sugar will cleanse, the olive oil will moisturize effectively and the lime will gently bleach your skin so that its original color is slowly restored. You can buy an exfoliating scrub off the shelf, which will work just as well. After you exfoliate, you can moisturize by applying a thin layer of olive oil to your skin.
You can also apply fresh aloe vera gel to your dark patch. If possible, get a fresh leaf and split it to extract gel. Leave this on for about 20 minutes. If you use this remedy, remember to always apply sunscreen when going out. Make a juice of one whole raw potato, apply and leave on for about 20 minutes. This will help lighten the skin considerably. To achieve a healthy glow, mix a teaspoon each of milk powder, honey, lemon juice, and almond oil. Rub this into your skin and wash it off after about 20 minutes. This removes darkness due to tanning.
