Put this homemade treatment into practice to eliminate those uncomfortable spots on your elbows, knees and armpits, and keep your skin healthy and clear
It is usually common for certain parts of our body such as the knees, elbows and armpits to be stained either by sun exposure or simply by pigmentation of the epidermis.
We share with you a natural and economic treatment based on toothpaste, baking soda and lemon. You can put this combination into practice from the comfort of your home and always show off radiant skin.
Toothpaste contains fluorine, a component that lightens and maintains tooth enamel. Baking soda is a natural component that helps remove impurities, exfoliating and lightening the skin, and lemon is a natural astringent that helps lighten the dermis and provides you with a large amount of vitamin C.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of toothpaste
- 2 tablespoons of baking soda
- 1 lemon
Preparation
To prepare this treatment, place the toothpaste and the baking soda in a container. Then mix these two ingredients well with the help of a fork, until a homogeneous paste is formed.
How to apply the treatment?
First cut a lemon in half, then put a little paste on it and apply the mixture rubbing the affected area, making gentle circular massages for 5 minutes. After time, remove the treatment with plenty of water. Finally, we recommend hydrating this area with a moisturizer.
