There are differences of opinions about how to get rid of dark spots on the face. My opinion is to use the safe and natural approach. That approach is described in this article.

It all starts with caring for your skin's health. The sun can do a great deal of damage if the skin is not protected. There are naturally occurring defenses within the skin's layers, but those are quickly defeated if sun exposure is excessive.

For several years now, the popular way to protect the skin from the sun has been to wear sunscreen. The benefit of sunscreen use is debatable according to scientists. It seems that many companies rushed production in order to get new sunscreens on the market to meet the increased demand.

As it is with most cosmetic ingredients, most of the sunscreens were never tested for safety. Their effectiveness at protecting against sunburn was measured, but the way the sunburn protection factor was communicated to the public was confusing. Even the instructions were vague.

If you want to get rid of dark spots on the face, you need to make an effort to protect it from the sun. You can wear a hat with a brim wide enough to shade it. You can wear large sunglasses with UV protection, which not all of them have by the way. You can try to stay indoors when the sun is highest and your shadow is shortest.

You can wear makeup that is composed of the minerals zinc and titanium. They provide a great deal of protection and they are safe, because they cannot penetrate as other sunscreens are known to do.

You need protection from the sun in order to get rid of dark spots on the face, because the areas are composed of melanin. Production of melanin is stimulated by UV exposure.

The cells in the skin's outer layers will be replaced in time. If there is little or no UV exposure, the cells will be lighter in color.

The next step is to avoid skincare products that contain ethanol and other toxins. They can also stimulate melanin production.

The final step is to use a nourishing anti-aging cream on a daily basis. Ingredients to look for are natural plant extracts like cyperus rotundus root and antioxidants like coenzyme Q10.

They can work quickly to get rid of dark spots on the face. Try them and you'll see.
