TREAT FULL FACE, FULL REGIMEN More sun damage and darkness lurk below the skin s surface only visible as skin dullness. Treating only the dark spot that you see may result in a halo effect around the mark and uneven skin tone. Spot treating your face is like spot cleaning a dingy sofa you need to treat the entire surface for best results. Exfoliation prepares the skin for the lighteners and brighteners. The right sunscreen protects against future damage-every step has a purpose and builds upon the last.
