13. How to Treat Ashy Skin Avoiding ashiness is easy—just exfoliate and moisturize correctly. Make sure you use a scrub with moisturizing ingredients, since rubbing the skin raw will make it look worse. (Peter Thomas Roth Botanical Buffing Beads contains jojoba oil.) Be sure to focus on your elbows and knees. Once you’re out of the shower, slick on a body oil, such as Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil, and top it with a rich body moisturizer, such as C.O. Bigelow Lemon Body Cream. 14. How to Fade Dark Spots Getting rid of brown spots takes patience—and dedication to sun protection, as the slightest bit of exposure will bring on more trouble. Beyond that, here’s how to fade them: For mild discoloration: A cream with a hefty dose of retinol, such as RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Night Cream will help fade spots over time. Apply a thin layer to your entire face, since spot-treating isn’t as effective. For serious spots: You need a prescription cream, so talk to a dermatologist. Hydroquinone products work, but if they irritate your skin, ask about a milder product like Ziana, which has retinoids and antibiotics.
