Use skin products that contain salicylic and alpha hydroxy acids for both cleansing and moisturizing.

Use sunscreen of 50 SPF daily. The sun is responsible for almost all skin conditions associated with aging. In addition, stay out of the sun as much as possible, especially from the hours of 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. to avoid developing any more splotches.
