Onions
Just like garlic, onions are very good at making those growths go away. Mince half an onion and squeeze out the juice using a piece of cheesecloth. Sprinkle some salt on the juice and let it stand for a few hours. Before going to bed, daub the juice on the problem spots. Wash off in the morning.
Banana Peel
Leaving small pieces of banana peel on the growths overnight yields impressive results after a few days. Simply cut little banana peel squares. With the fleshy parts facing down, secure them in place using small strips of adhesive tape or bandage. Remove the following day.
Castor Oil
Another effective home remedy for xanthelasma is castor oil. However, many say that it works best on bumps that just formed. As soon as you notice some yellowish formations around the eyes, reach for a bottle of castor oil. Use a cotton swab to daub the product on those hideous formations.
Apple Cider Vinegar
No listing of home remedies for various beauty problems would seem complete without apple cider vinegar in it. Dip really tiny cotton balls in apple cider vinegar. Squeeze out the excess fluid and secure them over those yellow-colored bumps with small strips of adhesive tape or bandage. After a couple of hours, remove and rinse off.
Eat Cholesterol-Lowering Foods
It is a good idea to switch to a diet that is high in cholesterol to help you lower your body’s cholesterol levels. This can help make xanthelasma go away on its own. Make sure that you include plenty of cholesterol-lowering foods in the diet. Most of them are packed with fiber that helps flush out cholesterol in food.
Many of these foods also contain vitamin C, antioxidants and healthy fats that effectively reduce bad cholesterol. Here are some good examples of cholesterol-lowering foods:
- Oats
- Green Leafy Vegetables
- Legumes
- Avocados
- Citrus Fruits
- Fatty Fish
- Olive Oil
- Red Wine
- Green Tea
