The Easy At-Home Method That Helps Fade Dark Spots
Once you understand what causes age spots, it makes sense that gentle exfoliation can help. Removing dull, dead cells allows new, brighter skin to appear and some common kitchen ingredients can help you do exactly that.
The simple two-ingredient mix
One popular home remedy combines onion juice and apple-cider vinegar. Together they deliver mild acids and antioxidants that can help the skin look clearer with regular use.
Why it works:
- Onions contain sulfur compounds that support skin balance.
- Apple-cider vinegar’s natural acids gently remove old surface cells.
How to prepare it
- Chop one clean onion and blend it into a smooth paste.
- Strain it through a fine cloth or sieve to extract the juice.
- Mix half a cup of onion juice with half a cup of apple-cider vinegar.
- Apply with a cotton pad to the darker spots for a few minutes.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and apply moisturizer.
Repeat several times a week for best results, always patch-testing first. Many people notice that their skin looks brighter and more even after a few weeks of consistent care.
