How do I get rid of the dark shadows on the sides of my face? Grace L., Milton MA

The darkened areas, also called hyperpigmentation, may be the result of skin’s exposure to the sun.

Before embarking on any regimen, you should seek consultation with a physician to rule out any underlying medical condition. If a medical condition is ruled out, professional services will possibly lighten or alleviate the darkened areas. Your skin care regimen may consist of using a lightening agent and products with exfoliating properties. To prevent further darkening, you should begin a daily regimen of using sun block with a SPF of at least 15.
