The first step of getting rid of the spots is to wash your face daily using a gentle cleaner. You then apply a facial moisturizer, to help maintain proper healing of the skin. You can use oil free defoliant, to scrub your face and then wash it off. You should be gentle and avoid moisturizers that contain fragrance in them.
