Excess- secretion of melanin in the skin leads to the formation of dark spots or pigmentation in the skin that no one likes. The dark spot generally happens due to the hormone imbalance, pregnancy, and intake of certain medications, vitamin deficiency, menopause, mineral deficiency, intestinal disorders and stress. 

Serious dark spots all over the body required to be appropriately diagnosed by a doctor, as there could be underlying problems.

Many of the bleaching products that are available in the market that contain bleach mixed with lubricating cream. In the end this may prove harmful to the skin. On the other hand, there are several home remedies that can achieve the same effect without having its side effect.

1. Lemon/Lime Juice

Lemon and lime juice is strongly acidic, and the juices from both are very popular in home remedies for bleaching out dark spots. Both the juices of the lemon and lime can be used by itself to the affected areas. However, using other juices and can enhance the bleaching effect. These remedies can take up to a week or more for any discernible results to be seen.

How to use Lemon/Lime Juice to remove dark spot on the skin?

  • Lemon and honey rubbed on the dark spots and as face masks.
  • Lemon juice, cucumber juice and rose water on affected areas.
  • Lime juice and turmeric applied as a paste on face can fade suntans and can also be placed on elbows and knees.

2. Turmeric

Turmeric is another popular skin lightening agent available in our kitchen. It is said to effectively remove suntans and fades dark spots quickly.

How to use Turmeric to remove dark spot on the skin?


  • Turmeric, Milk and Lemon Juice applied to areas where there are dark spots.
  • Turmeric, honey and olive oil- gently massaged on the face and leave on 15 minutes.

3. Papaya

Papaya contains papain, an enzyme that exfoliates the skin, encouraging production of new, fresher-looking skin. Papain also inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which pigment-producing skin cells use to make melanin. Green papaya contains more papain than the ripe ones.   However, it stings a bit when applied to skin. The ripe papaya works just as well though, so if that is all you have access to, you can use it and expect results.

How to use Papaya to remove dark spot on the skin?

  • Papaya pulp rubbed on affected areas can be applied on the skin; this will remove whiteheads on skin.
  • The skin of the papaya also makes for an excellent scrub for knees and elbows.
  • Green papaya and lime juice pureed. Applied to dark spots and left to sit for 15 minutes.

4. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is exceptional when it comes to skin regeneration.  That is why it is so popular as a treatment for burns, stings and scrapes.   The plant is also very effective when it comes to the fading of dark spots.

How to use Aloe Vera to remove dark spot on the skin?

  • Put pure aloe juice on the affected skin twice daily.Leave the juice on for at least 45 minutes with each treatment. Dark spots should fade within a month.

5. Buttermilk

Buttermilk contains lactic acid, which is an alpha hydroxy acid.   This natural acid is good for skin as it removes dead skin, dirt and excess oil.   Once the top layer of the skin is removed, the skin appears lighter.

How to use Buttermilk to remove dark spot on the skin?

  • Apply buttermilk directly to dark spots using a cotton ball.
  • Mix equal parts buttermilk with lemon juice and apply as a face mask.
