We’ve all heard that sun destroys collagen and elastin which, in turn, results in brown spots on your skin.  There are several treatments for brown spots including laser therapy, chemical peels, microdermabrasion and at-home remedies.

Today, I would like to offer you some natural beauty remedies for brown spots:

  1. Parsley and lemon juice lotion – Chop up parsley and pour it in a pan with water, boil for 15 minutes, then strain. Add 5 tablespoons fresh lemon juice to the infusion. Use a cotton pad to apply over the discolorations.  Pour the remaining lotion in a bottle and apply to your face every day.  The lemon juice is a great remedy to bleach dark spots, age spots, and post-acne scars.
  2. Camphor Oil Masque – Mix 1 tablespoon camphor oil, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 2 tablespoons grated cucumber, 1 tablespoon chopped onion, and 1 tablespoon Fuller’s Earth together well.  Apply the masque over the entire face or only to problem areas.  Leave on for 20 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water.  Apply daily for 15-20 days to achieve best results.
  3. Onion Masque – Grate ½ cup onion and mix with 3 tablespoons Acacia honey.  Apply the masque over the entire face and neck.  Leave on for 15 minutes and remove with a damp cotton pad or washcloth.  If you skin is oily, you can add 1 tablespoon vinegar to the mixture.
  4. Oat Flakes Masque – Boil 1/8 cup of oat flakes and 4 tablespoons milk until soft, then add 1 tablespoon honey and stir carefully.  Apply over the dark spots, leave on for 10 minutes and rinse well.
