How to Lighten Skin on Hands & Feet


The skin on your hands and feet may darken due to prolonged sun exposure. Even a little bit of sun daily adds up over the years and can make the skin there much darker than your natural complexion. Your skin can also darken there via sunless tanning or bronzing products. If the skin on your hands and feet is darker than you would like it to be, there are various things you can do to lighten it. With repeated treatment, you'll notice the skin gradually lightening over time. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions
1
Wash your hands and feet using a hydroxy acid cleanser. Hydroxy acids encourage skin cell regeneration. As a result, your newer, lighter skin cells will be produced more rapidly to replace your older, sun-damaged or dyed skin cells. Toners, serums, lotions and creams also contain hydroxy acids.

2
Exfoliate your hands and feet, using a body scrub and natural loofah. Dead skin cells reside on the surface of your skin. If your skin is darker due to sun exposure, sloughing away these cells will help to lighten your skin. Likewise, if these cells are darker due to self-tanning lotions, your skin will become lighter if you exfoliate regularly.
