Red onions
Red onions are very good for skin and hair due to the presence of antioxidants in them. The extract of red onions is very popular among cosmetic manufactures too because of the skin brightening and scar-lightening effects. Moreover, the researchers claim that the use of the dried peel of red onions efficiently lightens the dark patches on the skin and reduces the symptoms of melasma in most of the patients. Although red onions are very beneficial for skin lightening, the use of red onions extract might cause irritability in some people having sensitive skin. Always do a patch test for the regular application of red onion extract to avoid any complications.
