Digital Desk: With festival season approaching, everyone wants to get dressed up and look their best. With a host of parties and get-togethers planned, it's time to get ready for the Diwali festivities.

We use remedies such as facials, washing, and massage treatments to get a glowing look, but we often neglect the neck.

As a result, the skin around our neck is darker than in other areas. Just like the face, the neck also gets the same amount of exposure. Here are some home remedies you can try to lighten the dark skin on your neck, especially during the upcoming festival season.

Here are a few home remedies that can help lighten the skin and give it a glowing look:

1. Aloe Vera Gel: Aloe vera is the most skin-friendly herb that helps soften, moisturize and hydrate it. Aloe vera is full of antioxidants and aids in skin lightening. Apply some fresh aloe vera gel directly on your neck. Give it a light massage, let it sit for about 20 minutes, and then give it a quick cold water rinse. Apply on a regular basis to see a noticeable difference within days.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar helps to regulate the pH of the skin and removes dead skin cells. Douse the cotton ball, dip it in the solution, and apply it around your neck. After 10 minutes, rinse it off with water. For the best results, you can do this every day.

3. Baking Soda: Using baking soda on a regular basis is one of the best ways to remove dead skin cells. This wonderful cooking ingredient aids in the removal of dirt and the nourishment of the skin from within. Make a smooth paste with two tablespoons of baking soda and two tablespoons of water. Apply to the neck on a daily basis and scrub when dry. Following that, wash with water and observe the difference within a week.

4. Potato juice: Potatoes have bleaching effects and can significantly lighten the skin. They can make the skin tone even.  Simply squish a potato and apply its juice to the affected area with a cotton ball. Once dry, simply rinse with water and repeat the process everyday.

5. Turmeric: A traditional ubtan of turmeric and gram flour quickly brightens the skin tone. Mix two tablespoons of besan, some lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric, and some rose water. Mix them all together and apply them to the neck at least twice a week.
