Sun & Skin : How to keep dark spots away
Golden skin ? Yes. Sun damage ? No thanks. While sun-kissed glow is on everyone’s summer wishlist, dark spots often sneak in uninvited and once they’re there, they’re tricky to fade. Here’s how to keep your skin even, radiant and protected all season long.
What’s behind those stubborn dark spots ?
They go by many names : sun spots, age spots, melasma… but they all have one thing in common : melanin overload. When your skin is exposed to UV rays, it ramps up melanin production to protect itself. That’s how tanning works. But over time, and especially without proper protection, that melanin can cluster and create localized pigmentation.
Certain medications, hormonal shifts, or skin inflammation (like post-acne marks or healing cuts) can also make skin more prone to these unwanted patches. The good news ? You can stop them before they start.
1. Your Daily SPF Isn’t Optional
Forget the idea that sunscreen is just for beach days. Daily SPF is your #1 weapon against hyperpigmentation. A broad-spectrum SPF 50 is ideal, even when it’s cloudy. Reapply every 2–3 hours, especially on the face, neck, chest, and hands the most exposed and often forgotten zones.
2. Less Sun, More Strategy
Moderation is everything. Avoid sun exposure between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV rays are most aggressive. Seek shade, wear breathable long sleeves, oversized sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat, not just for style, but for serious skin defense.
3. Treat It From the Inside Out
If you’re prone to dark spots (or already seeing them pop up), it’s not too late to act. Modern skincare and supplements can help regulate melanin production and fade existing pigmentation. The key ? Ingredients that target oxidative stress and melanin synthesis at the source.
Look for The Regenerated Radiance : From the 30th day, fine lines on the face and hands begin to fade, pigmentation lightens, and no new dark spots appear. Skin radiance is visibly improved across the entire body. The Regenerated Radiance is compounded with vitamin C which help with the brightening and prevention
A tip we love : Always check in with a dermatologist before jetting off on summer holidays and while you’re at it, get your moles screened too.
Bottom line
Sun care isn’t just about avoiding burns. It’s about preserving your skin’s future glow. Make it smart, make it daily, and make it yours.
