How To Get Rid Of Dark Skin Around Your Neck

A rich source of vitamin E, almond oil soothes and rejuvenates the skin from the deeper layers. It contains mild bleaching agents that improve uneven skin and overall complexion. Adding a few drops of tea tree oil to almond oil and massaging it onto the skin every night will improve blood circulation and lighten blemishes.

There's a reason why potato slices are suggested to people with under-eye dark circles because it has bleaching properties that lighten the skin naturally. Applying the juice of potato twice daily helps remove dark patches from the skin and makes it look clear and glowing with regular use.

Other than nourishing and smoothing the skin, yoghurt contains natural enzymes that lighten uneven skin tone and correct dark patches. Applying a mixture of yoghurt and lemon on your neck for about 20 minutes frequently will visibly reduce the darkness around the neck. Lemon is acidic in nature and may not be suitable for everyone. If you have known allergies, we advise you against trying this DIY.

Darkness and dryness could be caused by imbalanced pH levels of the skin. The malic acid present in apple cider vinegar works as an exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and gives the skin a healthy glow. Apply diluted apple cider vinegar to the area every alternate day and moisturise afterwards.

Sometimes, all the skin around your neck needs is a good scrubbing session to get rid of all the accumulated dirt and dead skin cells. We recommend oats because it cleans as well as moisturises the skin, which means you won't have any dry patches! Combine oats with tomato juice and olive oil, and apply on your neck. Keep the mixture on for about 20 minutes before washing it off.

Along with your natural DIY remedies, if you already have a severe case of dark and patchy skin on your neck, you may need some additional help. That's where the Pond's Serum-Boost Sunscreen can come to your rescue. Along with it being because of an allergic reaction or hormones, sun tanning is also usually responsible for dark patches.
