Suggest Remedy For Facial Hyperpigmentation Spots And Pimples
I have hyperpigmentation spots on my cheeks. I also have oily/dry skin and at age 61, episodes of pimples. I have tried everything from emu oil to neutragena. None of these have worked. I ve only ended up with a cabinet full of nonworking products. Please, any advice will be helpful. Thank you.

Hi,
Skin hyperpigmentation occurs when an excess of melanin(the component that decides and regulates the color of skin, hair and eye) forms deposits in the skin resulting in darkening it. Mostly face and neck.
Melasma, Freckles, Photo Melanosis, Tanning, Photo Melanos etc are the different types of hyperpigmentation.
You can use following remedies -
1. Raw Potatoes - Cut raw potatoes into slices, put few drops of water on it and rub it over pigmented skin area. Wash it off with luke warm water after 15 minutes. Do this 3 times a week for a month and see the results.
2. Lemon and Honey - Take a juice of 1 lemon and 1 teaspoon honey in a bowl. Mix it well and apply on affected area. wash it off with normal water after 15 minutes. For better results, do it twice daily.
