4 Natural Ingredients to Help Overcome Dark Neck

Dream - The skin on the neck is often overlooked when it comes to skincare. However, this area is equally important to maintain its health and freshness.

Untreated neck skin can appear darker due to dirt and pollution. If left untreated, the color of the face and neck may differ when applying makeup. 

In addition to being unsightly, this difference in color can affect your overall appearance. Of course, you don't want your neck to appear darker than your facial skin, right?

Therefore, it is very important to take care of your skin regularly. However, if your neck skin has already darkened, you can try to overcome it with the following natural ingredients:

Easy-to-Find Ingredients

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has the ability to soothe and brighten the skin.

You can take aloe vera and split it in half, then use its gel as a mask on the dark neck for 15 minutes. 

Apple Cider Vinegar

Aside from being an exfoliator, apple cider vinegar also has benefits that can balance the skin's pH.

With its ability to remove dead skin cells, it makes the skin appear brighter. 

To use apple cider vinegar, you can mix it with water. Then, dip a cotton ball into the mixture and apply it to the neck, leave it for a while, and then rinse.

Yogurt

Yogurt contains natural enzymes that brighten the skin. Using yogurt as a mask on the neck can help brighten dark skin on the neck. 

Potato

Potato contains whitening properties, so it is often used to even out the skin tone. 

However, if you want to use it on the neck, you can also use potato water and apply it directly to the neck.
