An aloe leaf

Cut open the leaf and extract the gel.
Scrub your neck for a few minutes with this gel. Leave it on for 10 minutes.
Rinse with water.
How Often You Should Do This
Repeat this every day for quick results.

Aloesin, a flavonoid found in aloe vera, helps lighten the skin by inhibiting the enzyme's activity that causes pigmentation of the skin (2). Aloe vera also keeps the skin hydrated and nourished as it contains essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar For Dark Neck
You Will Need
Two tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Four tablespoons water
Cotton ball
What You Have To Do
Dilute ACV with water and apply this solution with a cotton ball on the neck.
Leave it on for 10 minutes and then rinse with water.

Repeat this every alternate day.
Why This Works
ACV balances the pH of the skin, giving it a natural glow. It also removes the dead skin cells accumulated on the skin and makes it look dark and dull. This exfoliating action is because of the malic acid found in ACV.
