onion for skin whitening - #13243
I am really confused about this whole onion for skin whitening thing. Like, I’ve been hearing a lot about how onion can help with skin, especially whitening, and I just don’t know if it’s true or not. Last summer, I got some dark spots from too much sun exposure, and they’ve been bothering me. A friend told me she mixes onion juice with some other stuff and applies it on her face – she claims it works wonders!! I’ve tried some creams, but they didn’t do much, and plus, I hate the idea of chemicals on my skin. I’m really curious how onion for skin whitening even works. Isn’t it like strong? I tried cutting an onion to cook and my eyes started burning. How could that possibly be good for your face? Are there any side effects? I mean, do you have to be super careful, or is it just all-natural and no big deal? Also, any recommendations on how to actually use onion for skin whitening – like should I just juice it or what? I feel kinda silly asking, but I'm desperate at this point. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
