The spots on the face can appear for various reasons: the sun, pregnancy, oral contraceptives or acne, among others. Here are some simple and inexpensive recipes to make your own homemade creams and get rid of those annoying stains.
First of all, it is worth noting that, to avoid skin blemishes, it is best to eliminate the cause that originates them. Therefore, we must take care of our diet, avoid bad habits such as tobacco, use sunscreen and not sunbathe in the hours of more radiation. If the cause of the stain is another, the doctor’s instructions should be followed.
The different recipes that we offer here are easy to prepare and have the advantage of not containing aggressive ingredients for the skin. We recommend trying different recipes to see which one works best; not all skin types react in the same way.

To do this, following the trend of the natural, we can make a very inexpensive scrub with sodium bicarbonate, sugar or fine salt. We will apply it gently and mixed with oil, in case of dry skin.
