4 Ways To Get Rid Of Dark Spots On The Face!

Dark spots, patches and other marks on the face can be embarrassing at times and may even lead to a low self esteem.

Dark spots may be due to excess secretion of melanin on the skin, over exposure to the sun, hormone imbalance, pregnancy, certain medications, vitamin deficiencies, lack of sleep and too much stress and so on.

Fortunately, there are many simple remedies that may help reduce the appearance of spots and other blemishes on your face. Below are some remedies to clear those annoying spots.

1. Take a shower: When you are in the shower, take the shower head and blast it in your face, this will rinse out any impurities. Washing your face also works fine.

However, this should not be done too often, as it can break the fine capillaries on your face. Also, do not blast the water on the skin directly under your eyes as this area is too delicate to withstand such force.

Do not place your face too close to the water or steam as steam can burn just as easily as hot water
