Natural cures for hyper pigmentation

Can you suggest a home remedy for pigmentation and also the duration i have to use it
(30 Jul 2006)

One of the best natural cures for hyper pigmentation is a mixture of equal parts of honey and lemon juice. This mixture should be applied on the affected skin for at least 10 minutes everyday and then washed off. Lemon has natural antioxidant properties which help in treating radical damage to the skin cells while honey acts like a natural moisturizer for the skin.


Raw potato juice can also be used as one of the home remedies for skin pigmentation. Potatoes are rich in starch and have mild bleaching properties which can help in lightening the skin. Raw potato juice should be applied on the affected parts once everyday for at least 10 consecutive days for good results. One of the other natural cures for hyper pigmentation is cocoa butter. Cocoa butter can be used to massage the affected area one or two times a day for at least 2-3 weeks. Cocoa butter is not only a good moisturizer but also a natural antioxidant which helps in breaking scar tissues and improves blood circulation thereby treating hyper pigmentation. Avocado juice can also be applied once a day to the affected skin area as one of the effective home remedies for skin pigmentation.

You may have vitiligo or leucoderma. Verify with a skin specialist (dermatologist) regarding what your hyper pigmentation may be.
