Dark spots on the back not only affect the skin’s appearance but can also lower confidence, making it harder to style your favourite outfits with ease. While many market products promise to lighten these
spots, their chemicals may harm the skin further. A natural homemade oil offers a safer and effective alternative. Applying this oil every night can help make the skin soft, smooth, and clear of dark marks.
Ingredients For Homemade Oil
To make this natural oil, gather coconut oil, almond oil, vitamin E capsules, and lemon juice. Coconut oil’s antibacterial properties help protect the skin from infections, while almond oil deeply moisturises and works to lighten dark spots. Vitamin E supports skin repair, and lemon juice helps even out the skin tone. Combined, these ingredients gradually work to reduce dark marks.
Method Of Making
In a clean glass bottle, mix 3 teaspoons of coconut oil with 2 teaspoons of almond oil. Cut open 2 vitamin E capsules and add their contents, followed by 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Shake or stir gently to blend well. Store the oil in a cool, dry place and keep it away from sunlight, as lemon juice can lose its effectiveness when exposed to heat and light.
How To Apply
At night, cleanse the back with lukewarm water to help open the pores for better absorption. Massage the oil gently for 5–7 minutes. Because lemon juice makes the skin more sensitive to sunlight, this oil should be applied only at night.
Benefits and Precautions
With regular use over 15–20 days, the oil can help soften the skin, lighten dark spots, and reduce pigmentation. Coconut and almond oils nourish deeply, reducing the chance of new pimples, while vitamin E encourages skin repair and helps maintain a youthful look.
For those with sensitive skin or allergies, a patch test is recommended before regular use. This remedy works best when applied in the evening as part of a night-time care routine.
