Pigment spots are one of the signs of natural aging processes many women face in their life. They often appear after hormonal changes that occur in the body or due to frequent solarium use and long sun exposure.
Professional cosmetologists will help you to solve this problem. However, you can whiten your skin at home, making masks from scratch. Yes, they will not give the immediate effect, but the result will please you.
So, we offer 3 masks recipes you can make at home.
1. Lemon mask
Lemon is considered to be one of the best products for whitening face. However, keep in mind that it can cause an allergic reaction and skin irritation so all the products that contain citrus fruits should be pre-tested on a small skin area.
You will need:
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice;
- 10 tablespoons of warm water.
Wipe the previously cleaned skin with the mixed solution using a cotton pad. Rinse your face with cool water.
2. Blackcurrant mask
This vitamin-rich berry is not only tasty, but it perfectly whitens freckles and pigment spots, tone up and moisturizes your skin when used in masks.
Mix
- 1 tablespoon of honey;
- 1 tablespoon of unripe berries.
Thoroughly stir the ingredients and apply the paste to the pigmented skin area for about 30 minutes. Then rinse your face with warm water.
3. Cucumber mask
Doctors and cosmetologists call this vegetable the natural skin bleach. Cucumber juice not only effectively removes age spots, but also has a toning effect.
Rub one cucumber to get a smooth mush. You can also add other nutritional ingredients – olive oil, lemon juice, or your usual day cream. Carefully apply the mask on your skin and leave it for 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Be sure to moisturize your skin after the procedure.
With the help of such affordable and simple recipes, each of us can lighten our skin at home. However, we advise you to be patient, as the visible effect may be achieved only by regular procedures.
