• Regular use of sunscreen with SPF 15 or more will help in reducing and getting rid of the dark spots and also in preventing skin cancer.
  • Picking or tampering with zits or pimples can lead to such spots and hence should be avoided.
  • Using a product that contains hydroquinone, which is a bleaching agent or any other skin whiteners will help reduce dark spots.
  • It is important to note that it takes time for the bleach to act, maybe 3 months or even a year, depending on your skin tone. It is important to wait and not abuse your skin and if you have acne, then it is best to treat that simultaneously and try stopping acne from recurring. Always remember the old adage, prevention is definitely better than cure.
