Let me begin by saying that discolouration on the face, chest, hands and anywhere on the body caused due to sun exposure or post-acne scarring is normal. If you are comfortable with it, you absolutely don’t need to get rid of it or try out diy remedies or in-clinic treatments. If you aren’t okay with them or are looking for a way to cover them up, you’ve come to the right place. Below, we’ll be breaking down everything there is to know about dark spots, from why we get them to how to treat them.
What are dark spots?
Dark spots are discolourations that are caused due to hyperpigmentation. This could be the consequence of sun exposure, hormonal changes, or the end result of acne scars. These can range from light to dark brown and the colour depends on the skin tone of a person. The spots aren’t painful and are usually found in the areas that are most exposed to the sun.
