Tips to overcome dark neck

We often notice a major difference between the color of our face and neck. Be it is men or women, we generally pamper our face with facials and take extra care to our face. But when it comes to neck we don’t care much. 
Our neck experiences the same exposure as your face be it is Sun, pollution or dust that leads to dark neck. Here are some remedies for dark neck:

• Honey with lemon
  Honey and lemon juice are both known to have skin lightening properties. Apply the mixture to the darker portions of your neck and let it sit for 15 minutes before rinsing it off. If you don’t have honey, sugar can be used as an alternative. It is said that sugar is a natural scrubber.
• Potato juice mask
  Potato is said to have bleaching properties that may lighten the skin.  Grate it and apply the juice on your neck and let it dry completely before rinsing it.
• Yogurt
  Yogurt has natural enzymes that nourishes the skin and makes it smooth. Apply yogurt on your neck and let it dry for about 20 minutes before rinsing off with water.
• Cucumber
  Sliced cucumbers can act as natural exfoliates for your skin. Simply slice a cucumber and gently rub one side of the slice around your neck.
