Brown Spots on Face: Causes, Treatments & Sun Protection


Question
i have been getting these tiny brownish spots on my face lately i am guessing it's because i am always out in the sun without wearing any sunscreen. how can i get rid of them?

Answer
 First you should start wearing sunblock daily. Look for a broad spectrum UVA/UVB block. Lots of companies make products with lighteners, hydroquinone is a popular one, it's sold 2% over the counter, there's a brand called Neostrata that makes a Skin Lightening Gel, that I am a big fan of, it's got hydroquinone, kojic acid and arbutin, the last two are also natural brighteners. Skin Ceuticals makes a hydroquinone free product called pigment regulator that helps fade spots. Products with licorice, kojic scid, arbutin, are all brightening ingredients. Also using a wash with glycolic acid would help your speed your skin cell turn over, to get off all that sun damage quicker.
