When skin is exposed to the sun, it causes an increase in the production of cells known as melanocytes that increase melanin in the skin, thus turning the skin darker. These dark skin patches are known as brown spots, age spots, dark spots, sun spots and liver spots.
Brown spots generally appear on exposed skin areas like the face, back, neck, chest, shoulders and hands. Some of the main causes of brown spots are sun exposure, aging, and genetics. Factors like stress, pregnancy, vitamin deficiencies, and weak liver functioning may also contribute to this problem.
The spots are usually harmless, but many consider them unattractive. To lighten brown spots, you can try a few easy and natural home treatments.
Here are the top 10 ways to get rid of brown spots on your skin.
Contents
1. Lemon Juice
Lemon juice has bleaching properties that can help get rid of brown spots. Plus, it helps maintain soft, clear and beautiful skin.
- Simply apply fresh lemon juice directly on the affected area. Leave it on for 30 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. Repeat this remedy twice daily for about two months to notice positive results. If you have sensitive skin, dilute the lemon juice with water, rose water or honey.
- Another option is to mix enough sugar in lemon juice to make a paste and use it as a scrub on your face, especially on your brown spots. Finally, rinse it off after 5 to 10 minutes. Do this a few times a week. You can also add some oilve oil in this recipe.
2. Buttermilk
Buttermilk contains lactic acid that helps exfoliate the skin to remove blemishes and brown spots without drying out your skin.
- Apply buttermilk on your brown spots using a cotton ball. Leave it on for a few minutes before washing the area with water. If you have oily skin or acne, you can also add some lemon juice to the buttermilk.
- Another option is to mix four teaspoons of buttermilk and two teaspoons of tomato juice together and then apply this mixture on the affected skin.
Repeat either of these remedies once or twice daily until you are satisfied with the results.
3. Castor Oil
Castor oil has strong healing properties and can be used effectively to get rid of brown spots or age spots. Along with castor oil, you can use vitamin E oil, coconut oil, olive oil or almond oil to remove brown spots.
- Use a cotton ball to apply castor oil on the affected area.
- Gently massage the area for a few minutes.
- Leave it on for a few hours and then wash it off.
- Do this once in the morning and once at night to help the brown spots fade and make your skin tone even.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is an effective remedy for a number of skin problems including brown spots. It will help dry out and fade the spots faster.
- Dilute some apple cider vinegar with an equal amount of water. You can also add some honey. Apply this solution on your brown spots and wash it off after a few minutes. Do this once daily for a few days or until you get positive results. You can use straight apple cider vinegar too, but it may sting.
- Alternatively, mix one-half teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in a few tablespoons of orange juice. Apply it on the affected area and leave it on until it dries completely before washing it off. Repeat once or twice daily for four to five weeks.
5. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera has healing properties and aids skin regeneration. So, it is excellent for getting rid of brown spots, especially when caused by sun exposure.
- Gently rub fresh aloe vera gel on the spots. Leave it on for about 30 minutes before washing the area with cold water. Repeat twice daily and within a month you should notice improvement.
- If fresh aloe vera gel is not available, you can opt for aloe vera juice that you can readily buy from the market.
6. Sandalwood
Sandalwood is an anti-aging agent and an antiseptic that can helps reduce hyperpigmentation and get rid of brown spots.

- Another option is to add one tablespoon of orange juice, one teaspoon of lemon juice and the contents of two vitamin E capsules in two tablespoons of sandalwood powder. Mix it well and then apply it on your face. Leave it on for about half an hour before washing it off. Do this a few times a week until you see improvement.
- Also, massage the affected area with a few drops of sandalwood oil mixed in one tablespoon of olive oil or almond oil, daily before going to bed and leave it on overnight.
7. Horseradish
Horseradish is a fantastic herb that helps remove age spots and freckles and makes your skin spotless, thanks to its skin lightening properties.
- You can make horseradish paste and apply it directly to the skin. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes before washing it off. Use it a few times a week.
- Another option is to grate a four-inch piece of horseradish with mix it in one-quarter cup of apple cider vinegar and allow the mixture to sit for two weeks. After two weeks, strain the mixture. Use a cotton ball to apply it on the affected skin. Follow this remedy three times a day for at least one month.
8. Papaya
Certain enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids present in papaya can help exfoliate your skin and reduce age spots, skin blemishes, acne and other skin problems. It will also give your skin a cleaner and brighter look.
- Rub one tablespoon of fresh grated papaya on the brown spots.
- Leave it on for about 20 minutes before washing the area with lukewarm water.
- Repeat twice daily until the brown spots fade away.
Note: As some people can be allergic to papaya, it is advisable to do a 24-hour patch test before following this remedy.
9. Yogurt
Due to its mild bleaching properties, using yogurt is a safe and easy way to keep your skin glowing and lighten brown spots naturally.
- Apply some plain yogurt directly on the spots. Let it dry on its own for about 20 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. For faster results, apply yogurt on the affected area before going to bed and leave it on overnight.
- Alternatively, you can make a skin pack by combining one tablespoon of plain yogurt, two tablespoons of ground oatmeal and one teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. Apply this pack on the spots and allow it to sit for 30 minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. Then apply some moisturizer. Follow this remedy a few times a week.
10. Onion Juice
Another easy way to get rid of age spots is to apply onion juice. It acidic nature and the bleaching property will help the brown spots fade. In addition to onion juice, you can also try garlic juice.
- Simply slice up some onions and rub the slices over the affected area two or three times a day.
- Another option is to mix one tablespoon of onion juice with two tablespoons of honey and apply the mixture on the affected area. Leave it on for about 15 minutes before washing the area thoroughly so that the strong smell goes away. Do this once or twice a day.
You will need to have patience when using these home remedies. The brown spots will not disappear in a week or two, so you need to follow the remedies for several weeks to notice positive results.

I have very large dark spots on my face for years. I try from home remedies to cosmetic products and still it here. My face also dry and my pore are large. Kindle suggest what I can used. Thank u
You can use lemon with sugar and apply it on your spots…!!
Anybody that uses lemon on there skin! SHOULD NEVER DO IT DURING DE DAY! Lemon will stain your skin in day light and specially if you are out in the sun. But it’s great to bleach stain, so ONLY USE IT AT NIGHT!
The above recommend aloevera works well for that purposes. Use it on daily basis at night time for optimum results. Taking a picture now and after a month can help you to notice the progress.
I am going to try this! Thank you for the before and after idea!!!

Dear Julio, Thank you for reminding us of the negative effects of daily stress. You have really sent us all a powerful reminder. As a clinical professional , I can share my insights into the relationship between medical problems and stress. After many years of practice as a speech pathologist I can share with you that many of my patients have acquired neurological problems as a result of stress, often without any negative history. Thank you . God Bless.

I bought skin whitener ( very expensive and its rated no 1 ) and at first I was doing very well and was so happy to see that my pigmentation was lightener but off a sudden it went darker more that it was before I start the treatment and im so so sad.
Before I started the treatment I used aloe vera fresh from plant so thank you to remind me about it and I am going to start using it from today.I had always used no 50 sunscreen and I don’t know what went wrong.
Best regards
Connie
you feel the skin so soft
I used the lemon juice and it really worked, my daughter had black marks from mosquito bites and they cleared up within days
At Kera how long did it take for the spots to be gone? In terms of the days?
Organic coconut oil & lemon juice helps my skin. I am on the darker side, however my age spots were clear & very noticeable. Within 2 weeks I started to see them fading & after a mth they are barley there… Coconut oil has amazing affects on skin.. Hope I could help..
I have brown spots on my arms and legs from insect bites and I have been looking for a remedy for years. I’ve tried scar creams, vitamin E oil, camphor oil, taking vitamin supplements, and even tattoo removal creams. Nothing has worked. Then I saw on TV an anti-aging cream designed to remove dark circles, and I noticed it was vitamin C based. I am going to try this rubbing lemon juice on my legs and I really hope it works. I am way too old to have mosquito scars. It looks like I have a skin disease or lesions from something way more serious than bug bite spots.
Thanks for the encouraging posts! I will update with my progress.
I’m getting married in a few months time,I really need the spots on my legs to go away,I have tried every cream I was told,bt I will try and use the lemon juicy.I really really hope it will work for me…thanks
I have the blackspot all over my neck but I’ll try the lemon juice I pray it works
Did It Work Because I Was Going To Try It On My Face
I have very dark spots on my hands. I’m gonna use the lemon thanks for the advice.
Hi All,
I have some ugly brown patches on my both cheeks. I make paste; 1/4 tea spoon of Besan flour (chick pea flour) and 1/2 tea spoon of plain yogurt. apply on my whole face, massage real good specially on dark spots with fingers. Leave it for about 5 minute, the massage again and wash it off (at first leave it on only minute and then increase time, since besan flour is very acidic it may irritate your skin) It will help some. When I go on trip I use Besan flour (chick pea flour) and lemon juice. I got on this web site to see what other people are using. It made me feel so good that my home remedy is used by others. I tried expensive bleaching cream and didn’t see any better result. I use it at night time. Good Luck
i have been using lime directly on my brown spots on my legs because i can’t get the lemon, and it’s working just the same i am seeing results with the marks fading in just two weeks so far it’s going good maybe you can try that too just cut the lime and pass it on
using lime is very effective. i have had a lot of dark spots resulting from mosquito but i applied lime juice once every day and i have the improvement just within two weeks. u can also try cucumber juice, it is also effective
Hi i have black spot on my face and am trying to use lemon juice and i pray its work thank for the idea.
ive started to use lemon juice and now ive notice some changes and my complection too,thanks a lot…
Very effective .
Hw did u guyzz apply d lemon juice??…is it ovanyt or hw??
About 5 yrs ago I was tan and started getting white spots on the backs of my hands.Went to the doctor and he said its like Michael Jackson its called vitiligo. Well in less then a year the white spots consumed my whole body. I lost all the pigment in my skin. Now I can’t go in the sun at all without getting red bumps and my skin tone is pale pink. To top that off now I get dark brown spots on my arms and legs. If I get a spot on one side it will come up in the exact same place on the other side of my arm or leg or face. Im use to the ugly brown spots but I hate being so white. I grew up in the sun on the beach. Help please
I have something very similar to you, but mine was diagnosed as tinea versicolor…but when I go out in the sun, huge brown and white blotches shown up all over me and many are identical on both sides of my body. Mine is caused by a fungal infection on my skin activated by too much yeast on my skin.had it for 6 years now… finally disappearing now that I take 3 antifungals – oil of oregano, cinnamon and garlic supplements….also rub my skin down with tub of oils (coconut, lavender, oregano oil and tea tree) after 2 weeks, all the spots have really faded and no new ones have popped up.
What kind of antifungal did you get
This might sound weird, but when you get that fungal breakout, put the Head and Shoulders shampoo in the dark blue bottle on it. Leave it on for 20 minutes or so every day, and use that shampoo as a body wash. Totally works!
How to cure pimples and dark spots for oil skin
I had one small spot on my cheeks. I used a chemical called melalite. that peeled off my skin and left a dark big patch on my face. its been 5 years and its not gone yet although i used lots of lemon, yoghurt, honey and other remedies. Is laser the only possibility?
Please write to me.
Like the old saying goes, slow and steady wins the race. The Dr Max Powers Scar Serum actually works for dark spots. But you will not get overnight results. I have several dark spots from scars, acne spots, and simply having fun as a kid. I have always used palmers cocoa butter for my scars for years and thought id switch it up. I used it every day faithfully for 2 weeks before I saw a slight change. Another 2 weeks before I seen a more noticeable change. They are still there but less noticeable.
All in all the product does work, shipping was fast
i have brown spot from one month on my both cheek i want some easy home remedies. plz give me some tips. Thanks………….
Lemon juice real lemon
Also Aveneno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer works perfectly.
Hi, i have this brown spot on my body for the past ten years now if am not mistaken which is gradually spreading. I have visited dermatologist on several occasion and they said its fungi infection. The dermatologist prescribed oral intraconazole and selenium sulphide which i used but no improvement and they are nt helping matters. The spot like little, little rashes that join together to form a large spot is on my neck, chest, back, arms and lapse. I have been using lemon juice for three weeks now but have not really seen any improvement. Any one with idea of what i can use?
I think you can use caster oil. I got help from that.
I have brown mark on my left chick near my nose and lip area. How can I lightning it . This spot color is darker than my normal face color . Plz tell me the treatment
Apple cider vinegar works well for brown spots. I just use a cotton ball and put it on the spots without diluting it. If you drink water with 2 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar in it twice a day it is also suppose to help spots and also fade veins.
apple cider vinegar is also good for weight loss, just drink 2 glasses of water with 2 tbsp. of apple cider vinegar and walk 3 times a week for only 30 minutes each time and you will lose weight and lots of veggies and fruits( you want to eat the fruits that end in BERRY) those fruits help to lose weight
i used black ppr (8) nd honey mixture nd take it with empty stomuch in early morning nd aftr it till one hour i nevr take any thng like tea
with in 8 days my one side of chik is clear…
yip! these tip do work only if u stik to it it hlpd me alot
Easier way is to use dilute concetrated lemon juice; mixed with honey and use a paper towel as face mask. The honey keeps the towel moist for half an hour that give the skin enough time to absorb the Vitamin C. Dark spot remover basically is vitamin C plus some acidic cream that help to penetrate the skin and it costs you $20+(50ml). Don’t mix lemon (acid) with milk (weak base). Also Vitamin D+E pill is cheap, dissolve it with hot water and put it on a wet paper, keep the towel moist for half an hour. A few drops of rubbing alcohol also helps to penetrate the skin.
Good..Thanks a lot…
Nice it realy done
Good Tip 🙂
I just want to thank you for sharing this informative and wonderful article. I tried the lemon juice for my brown spots. It is getting lighter. I wish I had read this article earlier. It would have saved me a lot of money on expensive products that claim wonders but does not help at all. Thank you once again!
thats very effective
I know lemon juice and aloe vera works but it entails u use it non stop.the moment u stop using aloe vera on ur face u wll start havx burns
Awareness Is the best prevention regarding any kind of skin diseases.
Thanks alot for the knowledge of using lemon on black spots…… Ae have some black spots on my face and legs which really irritate me…… So ae will have to try that lemon the…. and ae really hope that it worksl
Thanks everyone for the comment, I assume the lime or lemon juice works the best. I’ve started to notice the brown spots on both my chicks and I started to feel down but I’ll try the lemon juice n see what it does.
1 tsp of besan or chickpea flour, 1 tsp of lemon juice, i tsp of cucumber juice,1tsp of tomato pulp,1 tsp of potato juice and 1 tsp of neem leaves powder.Mix everything very well and apply it on the brown spots 2 to 3 times on face for 2 months…..you can notice no marks after few days of application of this mask…
JK LEMON JUICE x APPLE CIDER VINEGAR WILL ALWAYS WORK
ND DONT BE AFRAID TO TRY HONEY.DO NOT USE BENZOYL PEROXIDE!
Lemon juice really works
I also have notice broen spots on my cheeks, so I will also try the lemon juice. I’m white complexion but this spots are horrible.
Can you use any kind of vinegar? I’ve been using distilled white vinegar as it is all I have. I think there is improvement.
Tx a million to all for suggestions. My body is covered with brown spots. I’m going to try the lemon juice & coconut oil. BTW: I tried tsp of coconut oil in mouth to whiten teeth. Works! Nothing else did and I tried it all. Hold in mouth 10-15 mins (I swish mine around & suck/push between teeth) & then spit out. You can rinse with warm water afterwards. Now: Anybody know how to get rid of WHITE spots? They came out like all at once while sun bathing. Like the tan part separated into patches and I was left with white dots all over. Derm. Dr. says my cells reproduce too fast and new ones attach to old ones (on top of them) before old ones fall off. They are raised higher than rest of skin and can be scratched off (not completely) somewhat. When dry, looks like flour or dry cement. I’ve picked & picked but there’s millions of them! and they come back after I scratch them flat. Dr. says inherited, not dangerous or catching; just ugly. I use cream every day over entire skin but even so, in bed, the spots/cells dry and fall off (especially since I toss & turn a lot) and then they seems to curl up and feel like a zillion little egg shell pieces. I’m constantly brushing them off sheets. They fall under your body as it is heaviest place and so they naturally slide down under you. Very, very irritating. Any of you had experience? Know anything that might help? I’d be forever absolutely 100% grateful!!–Tx for consideration.–I’m new here–Marty
It could be psoriasis. In which case you need to see a dermatologist and spend 15-20 minutes a day in the sun.
i have brown scar on my skin so think lemon juice should be my aim now
thank you all for these wonderful suggestions… excited about trying them…
Boy oh Boy, if we have to add all the things posted here we’ll have a full meal deal on the face, lol. I too will try the lemon.
I have those agly black sports on my legs (front part of the leg) thanx guys for all the free lessons. ..av tried lots of creams bt got no change, will try application of lemon and aloe Vera, thanx again
I have to tell you – the lemon juice WORKS! I’m 48 – started having dark spots – the size of a pencil eraser – nothing bad, just dark spots.
Started using the lemon juice – and it works like a charm! You can’t even see them now! So I’m only using the lemon juice when I see dark spots on my face 🙂
It’s really work, but you can also use with a pure natural products like best of oriflame
Darkened skin can also result from a combination of sun exposure and an allergic reaction, usually to a specific plant or chemical,……..Be careful so lime causes it but lemon juice reduse it …
i have dark spots on my face and i have just started using mixture of sandalwood and rose water with glycerin i hope it work any suggestion for me please tell me which is more useful this remedy or using any of above except lemon since my skin is sensitive
ya, i used lemon but not working instead growing small hair over their… any advices for removing such brown spots…
I have been using Baby Oil with aloe vera already in it and I grate the skin of a lemon or two and put it in the bottle and shake it every day. I was surprised to see the dark spots on my legs slowly fading. I’m so pleased. It takes a long time, but it certainly helps one’s self confidence to see them gradually fading. However, I have read a book that says baby oil, which is mineral oil, does not go into the skin as successfully as vegetable oil, e.g. olive oil, so I’m going to try that. Also, I have tried ground liquorice root added to this mixture and that seems to be working well too. Liquorice is a natural whitener.
By the way, my dermatologist suggested a chemical peel for my lower legs at great expense. You can do a chemical peel yourself on your face or legs. Just look it up on the internet. You can also buy a kit. The clinic did a patch test with laser and chemical peel. The chemical peel worked the best. Be careful and it’s better to do a weak solution first. This is a faster method than the lemon juice, and you can do it over and over again. The chemical peel is done with aspirin tablets and a couple of other ingredients that you will probably have in your cupboard. make sure you use the correct measurements as you could get a nasty burn. I can’t remember all the ingredients (about 3) unless I look it up.
Brown discolorations on the skin can be from certain perfumes used and when those areas are exposed to the sun, they will turn brown. Not all perfumes will do this and it’s better to be safe than sorry, so apply perfume to areas that will not be exposed to the sun.
I used lemon juice beneath my eye, It dried the skin and gave me wrinkles. I’m Just so Mad. Don’t do the lemon juice dry skin is Bad!
Thanks you so much guys for your advices, i will try lemon juice.
Will try the lemon and sugar scrub…
I’m 21 and I’m breaking out in age spots , liver spots , brown spots of every kind !! I’m a lifeguard and I sit in the sun for ten hours and i put pounds of sunscreen on to prevent this but its not working !!

Go at night, go in a hot tub, to get rid of the brown dots on your hand I had them the past nights, and it got the majority of it off, but the rest use your other hand to rub it off.
Use hot water and rub it off
I have many brown spots in my face or nose for quite some time. Kindly suggest a remedy how to remove the same.
I’ve spent hundreds on prescriptions written by dermatologists, including very expensive ‘Blue Light’ painful treatment that promised to remove all actinic kertosis brown spots. Blue Light treatment did NOTHING to dissipate the persistent ‘masque of pregnancy’ brown splotches above my upper lip that I’ve had most of my life; I’m 65. With some time and nothing to lose, I applied ACV directly on facial brown spots, twice a day for a week. After day three it stung a lot but continued for another 4 days. Area progressed from bright red to a brown crusting over – looked very ugly. When I couldn’t stand it any longer, I let the spots heal over and stopped the ACV. It’s tempting to pick at it, but better results if, over time it slowly comes off in tiny flecks when showering. I continued to apply ACV for the next month and after about 6 months, ALL DARK SPOTS ARE GONE, and my skin looks GREAT – NO brown spots. For less than $4.00 accomplished the same as over a thousand dollars spent at dermatologist. Consult dermatologist to make sure you have nothing more severe than surface AK’s and not basal cells. Hope this is helpful! Thank you ACV blogs!!!!!
What is the ACV that BB spoke about? My legs r full of brown spots and I’ve tried those laser treatments for years and nothing worked !!!! Cost me a fortune, had to stop wasting my money, Are there any oils that work?
its apple cider vinegar ?
its apple cider vinegar ACV
