Well....I don't know if there is a way to make them go away, but I know keeping your face out of the sun, or wearing sunscreen even with your makeup, can help them lighten up. I don't know if that would work if you have a bunch though..

I do have a lot :( but about wearing the sun screen....I thought that would just keep them from getting darker...Didn't think it would lighten them up??
