Every time I look in the mirror, I just sigh. Please share how to get rid of freckles.

Lately, every morning when I wake up, wash my face, and look in the mirror, I'm always shocked. I used to hear a lot of compliments about my skin, and I prided myself on maintaining a flawless, clear complexion. But then, at some point, dark spots started appearing around my cheekbones, and now makeup can't even hide them, leaving me feeling frustrated. I thought I was diligently applying sunscreen when going out, but maybe I wasn't trying hard enough? Or maybe I overlooked the natural changes that occur over time. So, I've been spending hours and hours searching the internet every night, searching for information on how to get rid of my dark spots. Honestly, with so many cosmetics and treatments on the market, it's hard to know which ones are truly effective. I worry that I'll just spend a lot of money and end up with sensitive skin. When I ask people I know, they all seem to have similar concerns, so it's hard to get a definitive answer. I've been seriously considering how to get rid of my dark spots, comparing various products. What's your routine? I'm also curious if there's anything I'm missing in my daily routine. It seems like taking vitamins and getting enough sleep aren't enough. I'd love to see a professional immediately, but before that, if there's a routine I can consistently follow at home to get rid of freckles, I'd love to learn it. Even a small tip would be appreciated, so if anyone has experienced the stress of suddenly developing blemishes like I did, I'd love to hear your valuable advice. How's your skin these days?
