| I have dark spots on my face
How can I get a clear skin on my face again?
| Summary: Excessive
exposure to sun without wearing any protection means
that the skin can be damaged and result in
dark spots. While some of the damage is
permanent, in some cases, simple
skincare treatments can make the spots go away.
If the damage has occurred over a long period of time,
only
laser treatments and or
chemical peels can make the spots disappear. |

writes, "For years I have noticed that I have
several dark spots on my
face and I just accepted it as a fact of my
life, but as I am about to
get married, it is starting to bother me.
I typically
hide it with a foundation and
makeup, but when the
makeup is gone, it is so visible that it is
embarrassing. I simply do not have the
desire or the financial resources to go to a
dermatologist and I am not a big fan of using
prescription creams since I am skeptical of
their
side effects. Still I would like to
undo these dark spots so that my
face looks clearer and preferably
lighter. What can I do? Can you
suggest any
home remedies that do not require visits to
skin specialists or use of drugs and
chemicals?" |

If you
see some dark spots on your face, then, most likely they
are from
damage from the sun and the condition is called
hyperpigmentation. The best thing to do is to
avoid sunlight as much as possible. When you do go
out, use an umbrella. In addition, you can go do any
drugstore and buy a
sunscreen, and apply it religiously each morning,
even on cloudy days, particularly if you are going to be
out in the open.
Hydroquinone cream can be effective in lightening up
the spots.
In
the meantime, just wash your face regularly before going
to bed,
eat healthy, drink plenty of
water,
and
sleep well. |

You have not
written if the
dark spots
are only on the face or all over your body.
If they
are all over the body, you must immediately see a
dermatologist. At home remedies might work for spots
here and there, but if you have them all over, it might be
signs of early stage skin cancer and only a full medical
checkup can make sure that all is well with you. |
