"Here's a way to lighten blemishes or freckles using nothing more than natural products, such as lemon oil, coconut oil, or carrot juice. I'm Jackie, with How to Lighten Blemishes. The first step is to cleanse the area with a product formulated for your skin type and pat dry. Lemon oil is an astringent and detoxifying agent, so it's good for blemishes associated with oily skin. To make a lemon skin brightener, combine three drops of lemon oil, three drops of lavender oil, and one tablespoon of distilled water. Use a cotton ball to massage it into your skin after cleansing, and follow up with moisturizer. Make sure to avoid your eyes. Wait 24 hours before repeating it. Or you can rub in some coconut oil before going to bed. Note that coconut oil can stain, so let it absorb fully. Wash well in the morning, and repeat for fifteen days. Or, you can apply carrot juice to your skin for fifteen minutes a day for fifteen days, which will clear blemished skin. Always check with your doctor before trying any home remedies. Remember, to lighten blemishes, try lemon oil or coconut oil, or even carrot juice. I'm Jackie with Lighten Blemishes. Have a beautiful day."
