Discoloration on the face takes the form of freckles and spots of various sizes, usually darker than the skin tone. You can get rid of many of the discoloration, you just need to be patient and appropriate cosmetics. How to remove facial discoloration? Can it be done with home remedies? Discover 3 reliable ways to remove discoloration.
Discoloration on the face – where do they come from?
Behind the discoloration on the face is melanin, a dye that is responsible, among other things, for the color of our skin. Discoloration that appears on our skin is the result of local, abnormal accumulation of melanin. Discoloration on the face occurs when melanin production suddenly increases sharply. This usually happens in a few cases:
- excessive exposure of the skin to the sun’s rays
- health problems, including hormonal disorders, diseases of the thyroid gland, ovaries and adrenal glands
- using hormonal contraception
- during pregnancy and menopause
To improve skin tone and support its natural regeneration, order BrownMe Health Labs – for sun-hungry skin. We also recommend SPF 50+ SKIN DELIGHT Sensilis brightening fluid for discoloration, which is currently available at a promotional price on Medonet Market.
If the skin is prone to discoloration, it is worth protecting it against the harmful effects of sunlight.
Discoloration on the face – home masks
One of the ways to combat discoloration on the face are peels (e.g. using Bioherba’s Alpha Lipoic and Azelaic Acid Anti-Discoloration Cream) and homemade masks. To prepare such masks, you usually need fruit and vegetables, which you can easily get in any supermarket or local store.
- Lemon whitening tonic – lemon is known for its lightening properties. To quickly get rid of facial discoloration, it is enough to cleanse the skin of the face twice a day with a cotton swab dipped in lemon juice.
- Baking soda mask – baking soda reduces the visibility of discoloration, gradually and gently brightening the skin. In addition, such a mask will cleanse the pores, which is an ideal solution for owners of oily or acne-prone skin. To prepare such a mask, mix mineral water with baking soda and apply the prepared paste on the face for 5-10 minutes.
- Cucumber mask – cucumber has long been very popular as an ingredient of numerous face skin cosmetics. Cucumber brightens the complexion, and at the same time moisturizes and nourishes it. Preparation of the mask is very simple, just grate the cucumber on a grater, add a few drops of lemon juice and apply the resulting paste on the face for about 15 minutes.
As an aid, it is worth drinking Pukka Blackcurrant Beauty – a currant tea that restores radiance to the skin, and – thanks to the licorice content – reduces discoloration.
For discoloration, we recommend DERMO EXPERT FLOSLEK brightening acid peeling for the night, available at a promotional price on the Medonet Market. You can also order Farm-Vix cleansing ointment for dry and normal skin, which also reduces the visibility of discoloration.
Discoloration on the face – cosmetic procedures
Cosmetic treatments are a quick and effective method of getting rid of facial discoloration. One of such treatments is chemical exfoliation, i.e. peeling for discoloration. For this treatment, mixtures of exfoliating agents with whitening agents are used. Single facial discolorations can also be removed by undergoing cryotherapy, which consists in freezing the discoloration with liquid nitrogen. Among the treatments for discoloration, mesotherapy is also mentioned, which increases the absorption of cosmetics and healing agents. Laser discoloration removal is also a popular treatment. Such a treatment is effective especially in removing sun-kissed, post-inflammatory and acne spots.

The appropriate cream must not be forgotten either. We recommend the Orientana care cream for problematic skin, which lightens discoloration. It can be used in combination with the natural essence of Orientana for demanding skin. If the problem of discoloration is accompanied by wrinkles and loss of skin firmness, order the Double Action Serum for mature skin. All these cosmetics are available on Medonet Market at attractive prices.

The way to fight discoloration on the face are cosmetics, which can be obtained in virtually every drugstore.
