In the small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice + 1 Tbsp raw honey. Mix well until smooth.
Using a cotton pad or your clean finger, apply a thin layer of the mixture directly to the brown spots (areas of hyperpigmentation). You can also apply to a slightly larger area around the spots if desired, but avoid eyes/lips.
Leave the mixture on for 15-20 minutes. (The article suggests 15-20 minutes.) Remedy Daily
After the time, rinse off gently with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
After rinsing, apply a gentle moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.
The next morning (and afterwards) apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to that area and avoid direct sun exposure. This is absolutely critical, because lemon juice increases photosensitivity and without sun protection you risk worsening pigmentation. Remedy Daily
Frequency: Use this remedy 2-3 times a week. The article notes consistent use leads to gradual lightening of spots. Remedy Daily
Timeline & Expectations
You wonât see âinstantâ results. Home remedies typically take weeks of consistent use.
After a few weeks (4-8 weeks) you may notice the brown spots becoming lighter, the skin tone more even, perhaps some fading of edges.
If no improvement or if irritation occurs, stop using and consult a dermatologist.
Continue using sun protection every day (sunblock, hat, avoid peak sun hours). Without this, spots can darken again.
