How to Get Rid of Spots on Your Skin / 100% 2019

Looking in the mirror and seeing unwanted spots can be frustrating, and you likely want them to go away. If you have age spots, acne scars, pimples, and freckles that bother you, you have several options for treating them. You can try home treatments, covering them with makeup, seeing a dermatologist, and caring for your skin. However, it may take awhile to see results, depending on what type of spot you have.

Part : 1 Using Home Treatments 

1 Apply pineapple juice to dark spots daily to help lighten them. The acid and enzymes in pineapple juice may naturally lighten your brown spots and possibly freckles. Soak a cotton swab in pineapple juice, then dab the juice directly onto your dark spots. Allow it to dry, then rinse your skin clean.
The juice may cause some skin irritation or sensitivity. If this happens, stop using it and consult your dermatologist.

2 Dab evening primrose oil onto brown spots to fade them over time. Put a dot of evening primrose oil onto your fingertip, then apply it to your brown spots. Use the treatment twice a day to help lighten your spots over time.
Use the oil before you apply other skin care products, like serums or lotions. Once the oil dries, you can continue with your typical skin care routine

3 Use a cream or serum that’s labeled for skin brightening. Apply your brightening cream or serum every morning and evening after you wash your face. Follow the directions on the label to make sure you’re using it correctly. Check the label to make sure it contains 1 or more of the following lightening ingredients:
Hydroquinone
Vitamin C
Azelaic acid
Tretinoin
Kojic acid 
Warning: Don’t use bleaching creams on your skin, as they can damage it. It’s best to ask your dermatologist which creams are safe to use.

4 Apply aloe vera to brown spots to slowly fade them. Take aloe vera gel from a cut leaf or buy a tube of aloe vera gel from the store. Use a cotton swab to dab the aloe vera directly onto your dark spot. Let the aloe vera dry, then rinse it off with cool water. Repeat twice a day until your dark spot fades.
You can get aloe vera gel directly from the plant by breaking off a leaf, which will contain the gel. If you prefer to buy it at the store, choose a product that is 100% aloe vera gel.
Did You Know? Aloe vera contains a substance called aloin, which can fade dark pigments in your skin. That’s why aloe vera can help get rid of spots
Part : 2 Covering Your Spots with Makeup

1 Start with a primer to make your makeup last longer. Apply a dot of primer to your nose, then spread it outward. Blend the primer out toward your hairline and jawline. Create a thin, even layer to help keep your makeup in place all day. Wait 2-3 minutes for your primer to dry before proceeding.^[9]
You don’t need to use a primer, but it will help ensure all-day coverage.
Add more primer if necessary to provide an even coverage.

2 Use a peach concealer to color correct brown spots. Choose a pale peach color for a light skin tone, a medium peach for a medium skin tone, or an orange color for dark skin. Dab the concealer onto the dark spots to neutralize the color. This can help hide brown spots.
The peach color will counteract the darkness of the spot

3 Apply your foundation to even out your skin tone. Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone. Use a makeup sponge or a beauty blender to apply an even layer of foundation. Dab the foundation onto your color correction, then blend it across your face. If you didn’t use color correction, start on your nose and blend outward to your hairline and jawline.
If you’re using color correction, do it before you apply your foundation.
If you’re applying regular concealer, put your foundation on first

Part : 3 Visiting a Dermatologist

1 See your dermatologist to learn about the best treatment options. Your dermatologist will examine your skin spots to find out what’s causing them. Then, they’ll tell you the best way to treat them. This can help you choose a safe, effective treatment. Visit your dermatologist to get your skin checked.
Ask your doctor for a referral to see a dermatologist.


3 Try microdermabrasion to help remove age spots or acne scars. During this procedure, your dermatologist will deeply exfoliate your skin to remove the damaged layer of skin. This can reveal younger, more even skin, which helps get rid of dark spots or acne scars. If your dermatologist recommends microdermabrasion, expect to get treatments every 2 weeks over a 16-week period.^[16]
This procedure may cause skin redness or flaky skin.
If your spots are really dark, they may not completely go away. However, they will likely get lighter


3 Try cryotherapy to quickly freeze and fade dark spots. Your dermatologist can use liquid nitrogen to freeze the skin cells that are causing your dark spots. As your damaged skin cells heal, they’ll lighten, which fades your spots. This procedure can be a bit painful, but it provides quick results. Ask your dermatologist if it may be right for you.^[20]
You might have temporary pain, swelling, redness, and blistering after getting this procedure. However, these side effects should heal.
