1. Turmeric Powder And Lemon Juice Paste

Use of lemon juice is the mother of all facial skin blemish home remedies. But who can complain when it works so well? Everything about the juice serves a purpose in removal of the blemishes. The vitamin c promotes formation of collagen which accelerates healing and makes the skin nice and firm. The acidic aspect of the juice on the other hand acts as a natural bleaching agent and this comes in handy when dealing with skin hyperpigmentation and other dark spots.

This works on both localized and widespread skin blemishes. The gel has a special compound referred to as anthraquinone that has a bleaching effect on the skin and acts by getting rid of dead skin layers that contribute to the darkening and skin blemishes on the face. The gel is great because it is less harsh than acidic alternatives and can therefore be used by people who have acne and other skin conditions characterized by open wounds and increased sensitivity. The best way to get the most out of aloe vera is by grinding fresh leaves for the gel but you can also use ready-made extracts or aloe vera-based soaps and oils. Apply the gel and peel after about ten minutes at least once a day.

Vitamin C in the tomatoes contributes to collagen formation, the antioxidants reduce cell death while lycopene slows down melanin formation to counter hyperpigmentation due to prolonged exposure to the sun.
