People often use turmeric as a spice, and it may have some potential health benefits. One benefit is that it provides curcumin. In a study , researchers looked at curcumin as a potential natural treatment for lightening skin.
They discovered that turmeric helped block the processes that caused the extra pigmentation. It is possible that using a homemade cream containing turmeric may help lighten the knees if a person applies it topically.
Green tea is another potential skin lightening agent. It contains a compound called epigallocatechin gallate EGCG. In a study from , researchers found that EGCG helped prevent the creation of enzymes responsible for making melanin.
Therefore, using a green tea extract in a homemade ointment may help lighten the skin. However, there is not much research to support this use. Scientists will need to conduct more research to confirm the skin-lightening effects of green tea extract on skin pigmentation. Applying black tea to the skin may also lighten it. One study looked at the effectiveness of black tea extract on hyperpigmentation in brown-skinned guinea pigs. As a result, the researchers concluded that black tea extract prevented melanin proliferation in the guinea pigs and lightened darkened areas of their skin.
A later test-tube study in supported these findings. It showed that black tea extract applied to mouse melanocyte skin cells prevented melanin production and synthesis.
The researchers concluded that black tea extract might be a useful skin lightening agent for the cosmetic industry to consider for further research. It is important to note that researchers did these studies in animals and test tubes, respectively, not in humans.
Therefore, scientists need to carry out more research in humans to investigate how black tea may affect skin pigmentation. While there is not much research to back its effectiveness, an ointment containing black tea extracts may help lighten the skin. Many people use aloe vera to relieve skin following sunburn or another minor skin irritation. Researchers did this experiment in humans, so it provides some sound evidence. However, the study is from , and scientists need to do more research into the effects of aloe in lessening skin darkening from sun exposure.

Yes, I have this. I don't really know the reason for it either. However, as I grew older I learned to just accept it and I don't even notice it that much anymore.
A lot of people don't even pay attention it. Guest DailyMelody Posted March 23, I have it too and I don't like it either but people never mentioned anything. Guest lawlipopx3 Posted March 23, Guest Painterlyy Posted March 23, I have that issue.
