Rule #5: Break Up Dark Spots
Rule #5: Break Up Dark Spots When we were kids, those little brown dots on our faces were known as cute-as-a-button freckles. Now, we call them age spots. Believe it or not, freckles and dark spots are actually the same thing: hyperpigmentation, usually caused by sun exposure. However, women with mature skin may have larger patches of hyperpigmentation than younger women have, due to accumulated photo damage or hormone changes.

To reduce the look of age spots, apply a corrective treatment containing ingredients like kojic acid, hydroquinone, arbutin, licorice root extract and niacinamide. In addition, Alpha hydroxy acids and retinol can help fade spots by turning over dead skin cells to reveal brighter, fresher-looking skin.
