  • Do not squeeze blackheads and whiteheads;
  • Do not expose yourself to the sun after using lemon;
  • Always clean, tone and moisturize your skin daily, using products specific to your skin type.

In addition, it is very important to use a sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days, as the sun's rays increase the production of melanin, which is responsible for skin pigmentation. In women, it is common for hormonal imbalance to facilitate the appearance of dark spots on the face, so if the dark spots insist on appearing even with all these care, a consultation with a gynecologist is recommended, because situations such as myoma or polycystic ovaries may be causing blemishes on the skin.
