In order to get rid of such spots as you are describing, it is essential to know what has caused them in the first place. Any unexplained dark spots you have on any part of your skin should be necessarily examined by a doctor. Do remember that these could be an indicator of serious skin problems like skin cancer in its formative stages. So, if you have had dark spots on your skin for more than a couple of weeks, you need to remember to pay adequate attention to them. Since you have not explained the cause for these spots in any way, we will assume that they are caused by excessive suntan or sunburn.

In such cases, it is always advisable to make it a point to apply sunscreen of a Sun Protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 before stepping out of the house. This will protect your skin from the harmful effect of the sun's rays. You should also try to get a facial done about once a month in order to smoothen out your skin tone. To begin with, you can get a facial twice a month. After your notice a difference, make it once a month. On a daily basis, you should cleanse your skin every night before going to bed. You can also apply aloe vera gel to your spots in order to get rid of them

What exactly are these black spots on your face? If you do not know what is causing them, you should visit your doctor, as you will need to find out what is causing them in order to stop their development and possibly get rid of the ones that have already developed.

If the black spots you refer to are scars that have been left by pimples or some other infection, then unfortunately there is nothing much that you can do to get rid of them. Scars are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to get rid of completely. There is no known treatment to get rid of scars apart from surgery, which of course is needed only for severe scars. At the most, your scars will slowly fade over time, so you will just need to be patient. There is however no harm in trying some home remedies - vitamin E oil and aloe vera gel are helpful in treating most skin problems, so they help the scars to fade more quickly. In addition, avoid using any harsh products on your skin, as they will damage your skin further and slow the healing process. If you are still suffering from pimples, you should avoid scratching or plucking them, as this will cause infection and more black spots.
