Natural Remedies: Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is a problem that is common among black people & other people of color. It often occurs when an excess of melanin has been produced and forms deposits, causing skin patches that appear darker than the surrounding skin. Common cause of hyperpigmentation are: sun exposure, hormonal changes, heredity, acne, & botched skin treatments. Don't waste money on harmful & risky bleaching creams that can potentially make the problem worse! You can reduce the appearance of darkspots just by using lemon juice, honey, apple cider vinegar and water to create an all natural face mask &  skin lightening toner.
