1. Why do you get Dark Spots on the Face?

Before knowing about the remedies, first, you should figure out the reasons for dark spots:

1. When you are exposed to the sun for a longer time, melanin production in your face increases to protect you from harmful UV rays, irrespective of skin tone. This causes skin damage like dark spots and dark patches on your face
2. The oil that is secreted by the inner layer of your skin comes out through the outer layer. When the excess oil does not find a way to come out then that forms a pimple or acne in your face. After this pimple vanishes, you get dark spots in that area.
3. If you are following a medication and if it causes an allergy, it can cause dark spots or hyperpigmentation in your face.
4. Hormonal imbalances in teenagers can cause dark spots on their faces.
