Dark Spot Removal Tips
1. Cleanse
Cleanse daily both in the morning and at night. Keeping the skin clean is one of the first steps to treating dark spots and helping to stop inflammation of the skin in its tracks. A cleanser that cleanses and exfoliates which will give you "more bang for your buck". For the face if you have sensitive skin, use a facial cleanser that is specifically designed to be used on the face. For the body, use a cleanser that is designed to give you good results on the body because the skin of the body is thicker and harder to even tone than the face.
2. Exfoliate
For non-sensitive skin types, we recommend exfoliating once a day, for more sensitive skin exfoliate once every other day. This will remove the dead skin cells from the surface of the skin and your products will work faster, better, and you'll get better results from your skin care products. Choosing a physical exfoliant such as a scrub or chemical exfoliant like a cleanser that contains alpha hydroxy acids is a matter of personal preference.

4. Use Sunscreen
Not tanning is going to be very important in your quest for lightening dark spots. In order to avoid tanning, sunscreen is important and practicing sun avoidance is also important. Practicing this combination is important because sunscreen only filters the sun's rays but does not block them completely so, even while it, if you stand out in the sun's rays for long periods you will tan to some degree.
5. Hydrate
Everyone knows that drinking water is good for your health and your waist line but, not many people associate drinking water with better skin. Drinking water helps to prevent wrinkles, helps prevent breakouts, and helps the skin to retain moisture. So, word to the wise, drink half of your body weight in water daily for healthy glowing skin.
