The day-to-night routine to make dark spots and hyperpigmentation fade away
Meet the consequences of days spent under the sun… At the end of summer, skin loses its summery glow, dark spots seem set to be more and more visible. To reduce their appearance, discover our day-to-night routine and miracle treatments to fade hyperpigmentation away!
Why do dark spots and hyperpigmentation appear?
Nature is quite well-done: to protect itself from UV rays, the skin has melanocytes, which produce melanin that determines the colour of our skin. However, when we’re tanning and therefore a bit too exposed to the sun, melanocytes have a tendency to go over the edge and produce way more melanin pigments… Inevitably, giving birth to dark spots!
However, if summer can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation, there is a chance of predisposition to dark spots. Indeed, some skin needs to be even more careful from the start of summer as some medication (such as birth control pills), hormonal changes or darker tones can increase the chance of developing dark spots.
Is it a dark spot or a mole?
Wondering how to identify a dark spot? A dark spot is often lighter than a mole and doesn’t necessarily have this round shape. Its size might be different from one dark spot to another: from the size of a sand grain to a dime or even larger!
