There will probably be a time when you look in the mirror and realize that some of your skin is lighter or darker than it should be. We’re all in the sun at some point. Being in the sun without the proper sunscreens can mean that you have freckles, dark patches or other spots. You can also inherit this from your family genes. It’s nothing serious. It can also happen from injuries that leave scarring. It’s just what happens over time. Our bodies are constantly changing as so is our skin.
Here are a few things you can do to help get back that glow and evenness of tone:
Treat yourself to a spa day
Go to your local spa and indulge in a facial. Ask for a mask or a peel. These will help to even out your skin tone.
Stay hydrated
Drinking water isn’t only good for your digestion and other body functions, but it’s also good for your skin. It helps to keep it smooth, supple, and evenly toned.
Using spot removers
Products that target the dark spots like SkinMedica LYTERA Skin Brightening Complex, will help to lighten those spots and make them disappear.
Lemon Juice
Yep, lemon juice, applied to those spots can also help to clear them up. Just add the juice of one lemon to a full cup of filtered water and apply with a cotton ball.
Raw Organic Honey
This can also help the lightener above work quickly and effectively to reduce and lighten those spots, too.
If you are still worried about which spots are just your skin trying to get rid of the damage it takes or a melanoma, that’s all in the appearance. Round, even spots that don’t change shape and have clear borders are perfectly normal sun and age spots. If your spots are abnormal in shape and color, and also have a border that isn’t too clear, bring it to the attention of your dermatologist.
