Sun spots?

So after the summer I am beginning to notice a slight sun spot on my nose. It is still very slight but when I look it looks like I got dirt on my nose. You know everyone sees it right? So does anyone know any good ways to reduce or diminish sun spots? Hope you can helpSun spots?
olay definity greatly diminishes the look of sun spots after a few weeks. it is kind of pricey, but if you just use it on that one spot it will definetly last for a longg time. if you want a cheaper method, lemon juice lightens sun spots gradually so you could try slicing a piece of lemon and rubbing the juice on the spot a couple times a day. if you need an immediate fix, pick up some concealer in your skintone. hope i helped!Sun spots?
A lightening cream would work, but they take a long time. The quickest way is to have it treated with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy (I use the Palomar StarLux system). Usually one or two hits with the laser should bring the pigment up to the surface of your skin and it will get darker. After a week or so you can rub it off in the shower with a washcloth.





While it's in the darker stage I'd recommend covering it up with a concealer.
apply a good skin lightening cream


wear sunscreen at daytime.
Get it checked for cancer. Skin cancer rates in this country have doubled in less than 20 years. From 2 per 100 to 4-5 per 100. Skin cancer often starts off as a hyperpigmented area. So, go get it checked to be sure it's just a sunspot before you put anything on it.
