When I was a teenager and had just started college, I was super excited to experience something new. Like most kids my age, I was really self-conscious about how I looked. I’d freak out over even the smallest pimple. So, imagine how bad it would feel if someone pointed out something wrong with your face. That’s exactly what happened to me—one of my friends asked, ‘What’s going on with your face?’
That’s when I realized I had hyperpigmentation, and honestly, it felt like the end of the world. I got so stressed about it and asked my mom what to do when I got home. My grandma happened to be there, and she suggested a home remedy. I did it every day for weeks. Like most traditional remedies, it took some time to work, but it really did wonders for me. Now, I’m going to share it with you all!
How I Got Rid Of Hyperpigmentation, Thanks Grandma!
My grandma, and her mom before her, were known in our family for their homemade remedies for just about anything. Grandma even had a little herb garden in her backyard, full of stuff she used for her mixes. One day, she asked me to grab a fresh, tender aloe vera leaf while she got the rest of the ingredients ready.
Here’s what she did:
- First, she grated a raw potato and squeezed out the juice.
- Then, she peeled the aloe vera to get the gel.
- She added about half a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- Lastly, she mixed everything with some gram flour to make a smooth paste.
She told me to use it once a day for a few weeks.
I started noticing some improvement by the second week, and by the fifth week, my skin was almost back to its natural complexion. But grandma told me to keep using it for a few more weeks, so I did. And that’s how I got rid of my hyperpigmentation. Since then, I’ve recommended this remedy to at least 7 or 8 friends, and they’ve passed it on to a bunch of their friends. From what I’ve heard, the results have been amazing!
