DIY The Best Natural Scrubs For Brightening Dark Spots

Dark spots interfere with the skin tone and texture. Dark spots are the result of various factors such as sun exposure, ageing, or acne scars. There are a variety of skincare products available in the market that claim to be effective against dark spots but not every product is effective for all skin types. If you are someone who prefers home remedies then you can check out these DIY scrubs suggested by Vandana Mathur, Cosmetologist and Makeup Artist Director at Perfect Point.

Vandana said, “While DIY scrubs may help exfoliate the skin and promote a more even tone, it's important to note that results may vary, and it's crucial to use these scrubs with caution to avoid irritation.”
