#1: Make Sun Protection a Priority
Like we said earlier, sun protection
should play a key role in your skin care routine when you have dark
spots—and really, that goes for everyone, whether or not you have dark
spots. According to the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and
early skin aging. There are a few sun protection measures the FDA
recommends, including wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 or
higher, reapplying at least every two hours and immediately after
swimming or sweating, limiting your amount of time in the sun
(especially during peak hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.), and covering up
exposed areas in long-sleeved pants, shirts, UV-blocking sunglasses, and
broad-brimmed hats. Try the L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Bright Reveal Brightening Day Lotion SPF 30.
#2: Use a Serum Morning and Night
If you have dark spots, consider adding
a dark spot corrector serum formulated to address this concern to your
skin care routine. The L’Oréal Paris Youth Code™ Dark Spot Correcting & Illuminating Serum Corrector
can help make skin look more luminous immediately as well as diminish
the look of dark spots with continued use over time. This luxurious,
fast-absorbing, light-infusing serum gives skin an instantly luminous
appearance. After cleansing, smooth it over your face, then follow up
with moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
#3: Exfoliate Weekly
Beyond wrinkles, dull, uneven tone can
make skin look older. That’s where exfoliation comes in! Exfoliation is
the process of sloughing dead skin cell buildup from the surface of the
skin. The L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Bright Reveal Brightening Daily Scrub Cleanser is formulated with glycolic acid
and gentle micro-pearls to help exfoliate away dullness and impurities
to improve the look of your skin tone with continued use over time.
Lather the scrub cleanser into wet hands, gently massaging it onto your
skin in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

Keep in mind that alpha hydroxy acids
(like glycolic acid) can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun,
so, as we keep reminding you, be sure to apply a broad-spectrum
sunscreen in the morning! And take those other sun protection measures
we told you about as well.
Now, as far as how often you should
exfoliate, it depends. Some people can handle daily exfoliation, while
others may only be able to do so once or twice a week. Pay attention to
how your skin responds to determine what works best for you.
#4: Cover Up with Concealer
If you don’t want the world to see your
dark spots, disguise them with the help of makeup. Start by applying
the peach color correcting concealer from the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Total Cover Color Correcting Kit,
as peach can help counteract the look of dark spots. Use it sparingly
over your spots, blending in with the included applicator. Then, follow
up with a flesh-toned concealer from the L’Oréal Paris Total Cover Concealing and Contour Kit, using the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Concealer Blender to apply your shade of choice. Finally, reach for a full coverage foundation, like the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Total Cover Foundation, and apply it with the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender. Just because you have dark spots doesn’t mean anyone has to know!
