Everyone wants a beautifully smooth and spotless complexion. But, so many factors can cause dark spots, called hyperpigmentation, to appear on the skin. Some of these factors are acne, abrasions, surgery, and the sun. The following guidelines will teach you how to fade unwanted dark spots and have beautifully, glowing skin.

One of the most important steps you can take to completely fade dark spots is to rejuvenate your skin with a facial rejuvenator such as Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Rejuvenator. Use a rejuvenator three times a week to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and pore size. It will also produce smoother, firmer, and radiant skin because it acts as an exfoliator to turn over skin cells and oxygenate the skin. A benefit of this is that you will not have to exfoliate your skin each week.

In your daily skin care regimen you should use a good cleanser and toner. Cleanse first, then tone. For very severe dark spots you can apply a Topical A solution on the dark spots, such as Retin-A and Therapy Systems Topical A. Be sure to follow the instructions because topical A solutions are potent. When you do apply it, apply it at bedtime after cleansing your skin.

Another action you want to take which is crucial to fading dark spots is using a skin fade cream or skin lightener. Apply it in a circular motion on the dark spots. A pricey but very good cream which eliminates dark spots and hyperpigmentation is Meladerm by Civant Skincare. There are other less expensive fade creams and lighteners that are effective such as Clear Essence and Ambi. You should choose the fade cream and skin care products that are best suited for your skin type.

After applying the skin lightener, put a moisturizer with an SPF on your entire face because it will prevent the dark spots from darkening after being in the sunlight. Use a daytime moisturizer after your morning regimen and a nighttime moisturizer at bedtime. Within four weeks you should see a significant reduction in dark spots and have beautifully smooth and radiant skin.
