How to Get Rid of Dark Spots on Forehead
Say hello to spotless skin
Not everyone gets it but for those who do, dark spots on the face, neck, arms or anywhere else on the body, can be very frustrating to deal with. While makeup goes a long way to conceal them temporarily, it is after all a temporary solution. There are two main causes of dark spots; scarring or hyperpigmentation caused by extreme sun exposure. Skin type with greater melanin content is more prone to dark spots than other skin types due to the ability to trap the strong sun rays. Acne scarring, waxing and over-exfoliation also add to the causes of creating these pesky dark spots on your flawless skin. Vitamin C & E are two important ingredients that help with skin repair to give you a complete holistic approach to beautiful skin. Clinical treatments and cosmetics are harsh and expensive on the skin; thankfully all you need is some ingredients from your own kitchen! These overnight home remedies drastically reduce the appearance of dark spots to give you spotless skin.
