Dark patches on face, hands, arms and other exposed parts of the body can be really irritating especially if you're someone who loves to flaunt your toned arms in a sleeveless outfit. In order to get rid of these dark spots, you can try the following home remedies.

~ Make a paste of half a potato, mix it with rose water and apply it on the spot where there are dark patches. Leave it for half an hour and wash with luke-warm water. You'll notice the change if you use this tip regularly for 15 days.

~ Alternatively, you can mix 2 tbsp of besan, 1 tsp turmeric powde, 2 tbsp of milk, 1 tbsp of rosewater and 1 tbsp of milk cream. Make a paste of this, apply on the area, leave it for 15 mins, then rub it off with your fingers or palm before washing it thoroughly.

~ Mix equal portions of besan and curd, add two pinches of turmeric powder and rub the dark patches with it. Massage it thoroughly for 10-12 minutes before washing with luke warm water.

~ Make a paste of aloe vera and add a spoonful of lime juice to it. Apply this mixture on the dark spot and leave it for 20-25 minutes before washing with warm water. Doing this alternatively along with the potato paste tip will give good results within a month.
