With proper care and treatment, you can improve the appearance of your skin and boost your self-confidence. It is a wise approach to rely on natural ingredients that are known for their benefits and safety.
Here are some tried and tested skin care packs for melasma:
Yogurt and Indian Turmeric
To form a paste, combine half a teaspoon of turmeric powder with one tablespoon of plain yogurt. After applying, let the affected area sit for 15 to 20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water. Yogurt contains lactic acid, which gently exfoliates the skin and helps fade dark spots, while turmeric has natural skin lightening properties.
Tomato and Lemon Juice Pack
Combine one teaspoon of lemon juice with one tablespoon of tomato liquid. After applying the mixture to the afflicted area and waiting ten to fifteen minutes, rinse with cold water. Lemon juice serves as a natural bleach, and tomatoes are a great source of antioxidants that lighten skin.
Potato and Honey Roll
Honey provides calming and restorative qualities, and potatoes include enzymes that help lighten dark spots.
Orange Peel Powder and Milk Powder
Make a paste by combining a spoonful of orange peel powder with adequate milk. After applying it to the afflicted area, rinse with cold water after waiting 15 to 20 minutes. While milk’s lactic acid aids in skin exfoliation, orange peel powder contains natural bleaching agents.
A pack of boiled potatoes and rice
To create a thick paste, combine cooked rice with a little amount of mashed papaya. After 15 to 20 minutes of application, rinse the afflicted area with cool water. Papaya contains enzymes that exfoliate the skin, and white rice is used in traditional beauty recipes for exfoliation.
Green tea treatment
Brew some green tea and let it cool, then apply it to the affected area with a cleansing sponge.
Dropper bag
Mix lemon powder with honey to make a paste. Before washing it off with cold water, apply it to the afflicted area and leave it there for 20 to 30 minutes. Licorice contains glabridin, a compound that helps reduce pigmentation.
Coconut Oil Treatment
Massage the afflicted area gently for a few minutes after applying coconut oil.
Vitamin C Powder Bag
To create a thick paste, combine cooked rice with a little amount of mashed papaya. After 15 to 20 minutes of application, rinse the afflicted area with cool water. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that brightens the skin and reduces age spots.
