What Are Dark Spots?
Dark spots are patches on the skin that are darker than the surrounding area. They can result from sun exposure, acne, aging, or skin irritation.
What Removes Dark Spots Fast?
While dark spots can’t be completely eliminated, you can take some simple steps to reduce their appearance. Here are a few of our favorites:
- Apply Non-Toxic Sunscreen Daily: Preventing dark spots from forming is one of the best strategies. Choose a sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher and labeled as “broad spectrum.” One highly recommended brand is Black Girl Sunscreen.
- Use a Turmeric Face Mask: Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which help minimize the appearance of redness, blemishes, dark spots, and breakouts. Our Turmeric Honey Glow Mask gently extracts impurities from your pores.
- Use a Spot Treatment: For stubborn dark spots, consider using a spot treatment cream or serum to fade them faster, such as our TLC Skin Salve.
Turmeric Face Scrub to Reduce Dark Spots
Turmeric is one of the best natural ingredients for reducing dark spots. This potent spice contains curcumin, a compound with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that help lighten dark spots and even out skin tone over time.
How to Use:
- Gently exfoliate 1-2 times per week with a Turmeric Face Scrub.
- Alternatively, drink a glass of warm milk with a teaspoon of turmeric powder mixed in before bedtime.
Turmeric Honey Glow Mask for Dark Spots
This hydrating mask features skin-brightening turmeric and honey for added moisture. Turmeric draws out impurities from your pores, reducing the appearance of redness, blemishes, dark spots, and breakouts. Honey helps attract and seal in moisture, softening the skin, reducing enlarged pores, and soothing the skin. Feel revitalized and cleansed with the glowing Turmeric Honey Mask.
Directions:
- Once a week, mix 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of the mask with a few drops of water in a separate bowl until a paste is formed.
- Apply the paste to your face and let it dry.
- Rinse with warm water.
