Seeing dark spots on our face can be embarrassing at times especially when they are positioned in prominent places. You might think that concealers are the only way to go but not when you can take steps to make these blemishes disappear overnight. The good news about treating dark spots is that you don’t really have to rely on over-the-counter medications because there are natural remedies available that you can take advantage of. Here are a few that you should try out.

Fresh lemon juice 

One of the best ways to alleviate dark spots is to use fresh lemon juice on your blemishes. Lemon juice contains bleaching properties that can lighten those dark spots that dot your skin. For this remedy, simply combine equal parts of water and fresh lemon juice then use a cotton ball or Q-tip to dab the solution on the dark spots. Leave it on for 15 to 25 minutes then wash your face afterwards. You can also make a lemon face mask that you can leave overnight. 

Onion 

Onion is not only good for cooking but it is also a good option to use when you want to banish your dark spots overnight. Just like fresh lemon juice, the juice of the onion has skin-lightening properties which can be useful when you’re trying to get rid of the dark spots on your face. All that you have to do is to rub the onion juice on the affected areas and leave it on overnight. Make sure that you wash your face thoroughly the next day and apply your favorite moisturizer. 

Apple cider vinegar. 

pple cider vinegar is also beneficial to clearing up dark spots as it has the ability to regulate the pH levels of the skin. This can reduce the dark spots that tend to appear when there are acne breakouts that are just starting to heal. Another plus to using apple cider vinegar is that it can make your skin look better over time. To use this remedy, simply dilute the apple cider vinegar in water to reduce its strength then apply it on the dark areas with a cotton ball. You should repeat this treatmetnt often until you get the desired results. 

Yogurt

You can never go wrong with using yogurt to clear up your skin problems just like the dark spots that are pestering you today. The lactic acid present in yogurt can help exfoliate the skin thus removing blemishes and other skin issues without making your skin appear dry. You will need a natural yogurt for this remedy. Just use a cotton ball to apply the yogurt on the affected areas of your skin and leave it on overnight. Wash your face the following morning.
