Most dark blemishes are caused by acne scars or a reaction of scarred tissue to sunlight. If you have had problems with acne and if you spend a lot of time outdoors, this is probably the cause of the darkened patch. You will have to follow a skin care regimen to stop further darkening, as well as to reduce the present discoloration.

Use a sunscreen lotion whenever you are planning to go outdoors. Apply the lotion at least 30 minutes prior to leaving as the sunscreen needs to be absorbed by your skin for it to be completely effective. Reapply your lotion as per the instructions on the bottle and make sure that you use a water-proof lotion if you are going for a dip.

Your sunscreen lotion should have UVA and UVB filters. Lotions with both these filters will provide better protection. It would also be wise to use a wide brim hat as this will ensure that the affected area is kept shaded and away from the harmful rays of the sun at all times.

In addition to your sunscreen, you can use several home remedies to lighten the discolored spot. Lemon juice will help to lighten the spot as it is a natural bleach. Squeeze the juice of half a fresh lemon into a bowl and apply it with your finger to the area. Keep it on for at least 30 minutes and then wash it off with cold water. You can also use this at night to increase the effectiveness of this treatment. Make sure that you do not go out in the sun with lemon juice on your skin as it will react with sunlight. This reaction can cause further darkening. Use a homemade face scrub made out of tomato juice, honey and sugar to scrub your face. Concentrate on the affected area and use circular motions to gently scrub it. Tomato juice is acidic in nature and helps to slough off the upper layer of dead and blemished skin cells while honey helps to nourish your skin and even out your skin tone.

Make your own face pack out of Bengal gram flour, fuller’s earth and carrot juice. This is a soothing face pack that will help to reduce any discoloration. Carrot juice is a good source of vitamin A which is very important for healing and rejuvenation. Drink an adequate amount of water every day as it helps to keep your skin hydrated. It also helps with the distribution of nutrients to various parts of the body.
