Dark spots are hyper pigmentation, a sign of sun damage caused by an increase in melanin production, which occurs when the skin tries to protect itself from overexposure to UV rays.
The only way to truly reduce the dark spots is exfoliating regularly, that is to say when removing the superficial layers of damaged skin lightening the dark spots with time, since the new skin replaces the damaged skin.
How to lighten the skin with lemon After washing, cut a lemon in half, hold one of the halves of the shell and rub the juicy side all over your face, taking care to prevent it from entering your eyes. The alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) present in the lemon, facilitate the exfoliation by detaching the outer layer of dead skin cells, improving circulation and stimulating the growth of new cells. Leave the juice on your face for five minutes or less (less, if the itch is very strong) and then rinse. This treatment is much more effective than steam baths or the sauna.
