Why it works: Onions are packed with vitamins A, C and E, which are powerful anti-oxidants and antiseptics. Onions also contain flavonoids, which boost the effectiveness of vitamin C. Vitamin C is essential for keeping skin healthy, glowing and even toned thereby reducing hyperpigmentation such as age spots.
Apple cider vinegar contains powerful alpha hydroxy acids to help remove dead skin cells and reveal a fresher, healthier complexion underneath. The unique properties in apple cider vinegar help balance the skin’s PH and reduce the appearance of age spots.
