Brilio.net - Uneven skin tone , especially in the hand area, is one of the common complaints that many people often experience. Daily activities that expose hands to sunlight more often than other parts of the body can trigger the appearance of spots, which are quite striking differences in skin color. In addition, exposure to pollution and lack of care also worsen this condition, making the skin look dull and unhealthy.
Not a few people end up feeling less confident because of this problem. To overcome this, many are willing to spend a lot of money to buy care products such as expensive body scrubs that are claimed to be able to brighten and even out skin tone. This scrub is believed to be able to remove dead skin cells, stimulate skin regeneration, and provide an instant brightening effect on uneven areas.
However, even though the results can be seen quickly, using expensive scrubs is not necessarily suitable for everyone. In addition to the price factor that is not pocket-friendly, there is also a risk of irritation if the product does not match the skin type. In fact, this scrub can be replaced with ingredients that are more skin-friendly and certainly safer for the pocket.
An Instagram user @akbeautystylestalent once revealed a simple trick to even out uneven skin tone. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted to only relying on household ingredients, such as shampoo, toothpaste, and lemon juice.

A mixture of shampoo, toothpaste, and lemon juice can help even out uneven skin tone because each ingredient has mild brightening and exfoliating properties. Shampoo, especially one that contains strong cleansers and moisturizers, can help lift dirt and excess oil from the surface of the skin.
Toothpaste contains baking soda or a mild abrasive that can help exfoliate dead skin cells that make skin look dull. Meanwhile, lemon juice is rich in vitamin C and citric acid which is known as a natural lightening agent. The acid from the lemon helps remove dead skin cells while also lightening dark areas, so if used regularly and carefully, this combination can help create a more even skin tone.
