Summer may be long gone, but its effects on the skin may still be lingering. We're talking about dark spots. Luckily, Salma Hayek has a trick for alleviating them. (Yes, the Salma Hayek.) She was kind enough to bequeath us with her spot-removing knowledge—which she inherited from her grandmother's recipes and now uses to formulate products in her cosmetics and skin-care line, Nuance Salma Hayek—in the form of this supereasy at-home DIY treatment, which requires just a few kitchen and bathroom mainstays.
Are you ready for it? Great. Here's what you'll need: Baking soda, salt, glycerin, hydrogen peroxide, and lemon juice. (For exact measurements, peep the full video here.) Once you've gathered your ingredients, mix them together to create the star-approved dark-spot treatment to help diminish those pesky speckles caused by the sun. And once you've got your mix ready, it's important to start small, so apply only a tiny bit at a time to your skin. If you're prone to sensitivity and your skin becomes irritated, quickly rinse off the mixture.
So there you have it: a safe, DIY dark-spot treatment to help remove spots caused by the sun, brought to you courtesy of Oscar-nominated actress Salma Hayek. And remember, this treatment isn't a miracle worker, so you won't see a drastic change overnight. Over time, your dark spots just might just slowly start to diminish.
