Halle Berry is 43 years old and is giving the young girls a run for their money! One of the reasons she doesn't look her age is because of how amazing her skin is. Any skin discoloration or pigmentation issues will make the skin appear much, much older to others. According to a study done by Allure Magazine, dark spots can age you by 10 to 15 years. Who wants that? Certainly not you! Here are some ways to win the war on dark spots, and you too can have flawless skin like Ms. Berry.
Clinique Even Better Clinical Skin Tone Corrector ($39.50, clinique.com) is a good choice because you can treat the issue yourself at home. Creams that have lighteners like soy, licorice extract, kojic acid, or 2% hydroquinone are most effective because they are chemical exfoliaters. You should give these treatments 3 months to show a difference in the marks.
If three months has pasted and you still are not seeing results you need a higher strength cream to fade the spots. To do so you will have to turn to your doctor, dermatologist or perhaps even aesthetician to prescribe 4% hydroquinone cream. This high potent cream will work exceptionally fast in a month's time.

If you still are not satisfied with your skin, you could make an appointment to meet with your dermatologist or aesthetician to hear about the options that include that lasers and lights to treat the spots. Those with darker skin should to their research to make sure that the doctor feels comfortable working with their skin. An option would be the Intense Pulsed Light where the doctor dissolves the spots with what feels like hot pinpricks. You should see results after the first treatment, but it takes 4 to 4 sessions to see the full results.
