Create Your Daily Topical Routine
The first step in removing facial blemishes would be creating a targeted skincare routine. Cleanse with a salicylic acid cleanser, apply niacinamide or vitamin C serum to improve the look of your dark spots, and put on broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen in the morning to prevent any pigmentation, L'Oréal Paris recommends.
Retinoid Application
The application of retinoids or retinols speeds up the cell renewal process and removes acne spots, evening out skin texture. Apply it every night to let your skin repair itself during your sleep.
Effective Spot Treatment
In case your skin is prone to active acne blemishes, apply spot treatments with such substances as tea tree oil or benzoyl peroxide to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria.
Using Chemical Exfoliators
Physical scrubs only cause damage to your skin by tearing off its outer layers. In order to avoid such an effect, start using chemical leave-on exfoliating products with AHA/BHA acids for safe unclogging.

How to Protect Your Skin from UV Rays?
As ultraviolet rays contribute greatly to hyperpigmentation, daily application of sunscreens—and their reapplication every two hours during your stay outside—is the most effective protection from permanent blemish scarring.
Do Not Touch Blemishes
Never try to squeeze or touch your pimples because squeezing leads to deeper penetration of bacteria into skin layers and increases the chance of scarring and dark spot formation. Find out more about other skincare rules.
Natural Home Remedies
If your blemishes are not severe, then you can rely on natural ingredients. Aloe vera has excellent anti-inflammatory properties, promoting skin cell growth. Honey is also a great choice because of its antioxidant properties that promote scar fading.
Professional Treatments
When home remedies do not help you with skin clearing, you can go to a dermatologist to get some professional help. With chemical peeling, your dermatologist will use a high concentration of acids in order to shed the damaged skin layers. Laser treatments, such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), are especially effective in the removal of solar lentigines and melasma, according to the dermatological guides.
