10 Home Remedies For Dark Skin Around The Neck & Back

You should never go for an instant whitening on the neck and back region, but instead try to opt for some home remedies that will help to whiten the skin around the neck and back.

Generally, women face dark areas on the neck and back, as they forget to pamper them as much as they do for the skin on their face.

Skin condition where a woman faces dark skin in certain areas is known as acanthosis nigricans, which is also known as hyper-pigmentation of the skin. Make sure that this is not an infection or contagious and also get it checked from a doctor in case you find unusual marks or spots.

Also, if you are looking to treat the problem of dark skin and back at home, then here are DIY home remedies.

1. Cucumber

Cucumber helps to remove impurities from the neck and back, and hence it can be used to bring a nice glow on your skin. Grate cucumber and extract some juice from the cucumber. Now, rub it gently on the neck and back and allow the juice to get absorbed completely. Wash off after 15 minutes.

2. Yogurt

Yogurt helps to clean your neck region and also flush out the toxins from the skin. Take some yogurt directly on the dark areas and leave it for some time. Rinse off with cold water.
