Sophie Uliano Shows Us How to Get Rid of Those Unwanted Sun Spots and Blotchy Skin

You thought it was going to be a beautiful spring day. The birds are chirpin’ and the 21-year-old Italian stallion next door is mowing the lawn shirtless. But just as you reach for your toothbrush in hopes of that fresh, cinnaminny breath, you see it ruthlessly staring at you in the bathroom mirror - a dark spot near your lip that looks like a Marilyn Monroe tribute-gone-bad. Ack!

Was it too much sun? Is it premature aging? Will it pass as a cool tattoo?

When dark spots got you down that doesn’t mean you need to head right for the lasers. Give Sophie Uliano’s natural alpha hydroxy acid mask a try pronto.

It’s okay, honey. The sun will come out again.

AHA Skin Lightening Mask

Yields: enough for one application
Application: Use once a week for six weeks

What to Buy:
1 fresh papaya, peeled, seeds removed, cut into small cubes
1/2 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into small cubes

How to Make It:
If you have a juicer that has a setting for soft fruit, this will be perfect for extracting the juice (you also don’t need to peel or core the fruit). If not, crush the fruit cubes with a mortar and pestle and then press through a sieve to extract the juice.

How to Use It:
Saturate a cotton pad or ball in the juice and apply to your neck and face in upward strokes. Leave the juice to dry for 15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water and moisturize as usual.
