Onion Ice Cubes: Dark Spots To Clear Skin
Dark spots, also known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), often appear after acne, minor injuries, or sun exposure. One of the most effective natural remedies to tackle this issue is onion juice—thanks to its rich content of quercetin and sulfur compounds. When frozen into ice cubes and blended with other skin-friendly ingredients, onion juice becomes a powerful solution that not only brightens dark spots but also soothes and rejuvenates the skin. This DIY method combines the benefits of cryotherapy with natural depigmenting agents for visible results in just a few weeks.
