And women try to get rid of them as quickly as possible. In most cases, by the way, using improvised means. But alas, in most cases everything ends very sadly - with skin burns. And pigment spots, like that cart, are still there. It would seem that the way out of this situation is obvious - go to a professional cosmetologist. However, not all women have such an opportunity - some do not have free time, and some do not have money. So what to do? Just resign yourself and continue trying to disguise pigment spots with foundation and powder? Of course not! You can eliminate pigment spots or, at least, make them less noticeable at home. The main thing is to prepare the products strictly according to the recipe and do the procedures no more often than recommended.
Whitening lotions
If the color of the pigment spots is not too dark,Most likely, you will be able to get rid of them using only whitening lotions. The most important rule is to use them regularly. If you lubricate your skin only periodically, from time to time, you will not see any effect.
- Cucumber lotion
The whitening properties of cucumbers have been known sinceour grandmothers. We shouldn't neglect them either - the results will surely please you. Grate one small fresh cucumber on a fine grater, without peeling it. Place the cucumber mass in any tightly closing container (a bottle is best), pour in 50 grams of vodka and leave to infuse on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. The lotion should be infused for at least one week, shaking the bottle about two or three times a day. Then, using a sieve or gauze, strain the cucumber lotion, pour it back into the bottle and add 50 grams of cold boiled water. That's it, your lotion is ready to use. Soak a cotton pad in the lotion and wipe the pigment spots. After the skin dries, repeat the procedure again. In total, there should be three or four such approaches per day. If you notice that your skin is starting to peel, add another 50 grams of clean water to the lotion. And be sure to use a moisturizer! You will notice the first results in two weeks. But to consolidate the result, continue the treatment for a month. If you are not satisfied with the final result, you should look for another remedy.
- Lemon Lotion
Lemon lotion works a little moreaggressively than cucumber. Therefore, it is advisable to use it only for those girls whose skin is oily. To prepare lemon lotion, grate a whole lemon (with the zest), place it in any glass container and pour a glass of hot water. Be careful - do not use boiling water, otherwise the glass container will burst. You do not want to mess around with burns or cuts later, do you? Close the container tightly with a lid and leave to infuse for three days. Then strain the lotion using a sieve or gauze, add two tablespoons of vodka. Stir the lotion again and remember that the lotion must be stored exclusively in the refrigerator and no longer than two weeks. The skin in the area of age spots should be wiped quite often - about 5-6 times a day. The entire course of treatment should last about a month.
- Lotion from dill
Dill whitens the skin very, very effectively,therefore, it would be at least unwise to refuse its properties. To prepare, finely chop fresh dill - you need two tablespoons. Place them in any suitable container - the main thing is not iron - and pour 50 grams of vodka. This lotion should be infused in a dark and cool place for three days. If desired, the lotion can be filtered so that pieces of dill do not remain on the skin. Then add 50 grams of boiled water and shake. It is enough to wipe pigment spots with this product twice a day - morning and evening. If you notice that the skin begins to peel, immediately begin using an intensive moisturizing cream.
Whitening compresses
If lotions alone weren't enough,try adding compresses. Their effect is more intense than lotions, but softer than masks - so to speak, an intermediate option. At first glance, compresses may seem similar to lotions, but this is not the case at all.
- Compress of grapefruit
Squeeze the juice of one small grapefruit andPrepare gauze pads of a suitable size. Soak the pad in the juice and apply to the pigmented spot. The compress should last at least 15 minutes. If the pad dries out earlier, soak it again - it should be wet the entire time of the procedure. Then rinse the skin with warm water, dry and apply any moisturizer. If after the first procedure there are no signs of irritation on the skin - rashes or redness - you can continue further procedures. Otherwise, this method is not for you. You need to have at least three such sessions per week, and the entire course of treatment should last about a month.
- Cucumber-shaped compress
The cucumber didn't go unnoticed this time either- it will also come in handy for whitening compresses. More precisely, not the cucumber itself, but freshly squeezed cucumber juice. The procedure for making compresses is standard - soak a gauze napkin in cucumber juice and apply it to the pigmented spot. The duration of the compress is 20 minutes. Cucumber juice does not have any particularly negative effect on the skin, so you can do compresses as often as you want - even twice a day. It makes sense to continue the treatment for no longer than a month - if you do not achieve the desired result, try some other remedy.
- Composition of apple seeds
Do you like apples?And rightly so - it is good for the body and will come in handy in the fight against pigment spots. Eat the apple, but don't throw away the seeds - they will come in handy for a whitening compress. Pour a glass of water over a tablespoon of seeds, bring to a boil and reduce the heat. Cook them until half of the water has boiled away. Then cool the broth, moisten a gauze napkin and apply to the pigment spot for 30 minutes. Don't forget to change the napkins as they dry out. The compress does not irritate the skin, so it can be done at least every day. The approximate duration of the pigment spot whitening course is one month.
Whitening Masks

Normally, you should experience a slight burning sensation, which only indicates that the mask is working.

After you wash off the mask with plenty of water, apply an intense moisturizer to the treated areas of the skin. Such masks can be done no more than twice a week - you will not achieve a stronger effect with more frequent masks, but you will burn your skin.

And as a result - there is a risk of burns. The mask must be washed off very carefully, with plenty of water. After the skin dries, you need to apply a moisturizer to prevent overdrying of the skin. For two hours, carefully monitor the reaction of your skin - if there are no signs of irritation, you can continue the bleaching course. By the way, about the course: this mask should be done three times a week, for at least one month, and ideally two.
