How to Erase the Dark Patches on the Cheeks

December 31st, 2007 | Beauty Tips

This is very common problem since our skin tans easily and patches often start appearing on the sides of our cheeks. The problem happens when we go out in the sun without sunscreen. Follow the instructions given below to lighten your marks:-

Try to avoid using soap since it tends to darken the skin. Use a good quality face wash instead.

Use a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more religiously, even if you are staying indoors. Use it at least twice daily.

Go for an oil free or gel sunscreen if your skin is oily.

Before you are retiring to bed, use a fairness moisturizer.

Whitening creams help in reducing your skin’s pigmentation.

You may try some homemade face packs like mixture of curd and Bengal gram flour. Use this pack twice a week. Keep it for 45 minutes. Then wash thoroughly with water.

Do not hesitate to consult your dermatologist if the said procedures do not work.
