Spots, Freckles, Radial Keratosis: Prevention & Treatment.

Do you want to indulge in the healing power of the sun and get a uniform color without damage and unsightly spots?

But after several days of sun exposure, with a closer look in the mirror, we discover that on the face or on the torso have appeared some unsightly brown spots, which unfortunately get worse with constant sunbathing.

Why is this happening?

Long stays in the sun increase the body’s production of melanin, the pigment that protects the skin against the harmful effects of UV radiation. As with olives or freckles, dark spots form when melanin agglomerates coalesce. Although they are not harmful to the skin, these dark spots usually appear from the age of 40 when other signs of sun damage begin to appear.

Because prevention is always better than cure, dermatologists recommend for the city, the use of moisturizing face cream with a sun protection index, while in contrast to the sea or the mountains, sun exposure should be done gradually and always with sunscreen products, with a high protection , from 30 to 60.

It is also important to renew the sunscreen every hour, both on the face and body, even when the package states that there are “light stability filters”.

Hormonal spots
Other causes of skin blemishes that are currently getting worse are those that are mainly due to birth control pills. Gynecologists point out that this is a problem created by the previous generation of contraceptives, with a high content of progesterone.

With the new contraceptives the problem of creating anti-aesthetic spots on the skin has been significantly reduced, but it has not completely disappeared.

Whatever the origin of the spots, today, you can rely on the help of certain specialized cosmetics, which are able to discolor them or even prevent them before they even appear. There are also various other methods, such as exfoliation, laser and other dermatological treatments (which must significantly precede sun exposure), which will give you a uniform complexion.

How to get a healthy uniform tan?

Do not overdo it with the sun from the very first day!

If your tan has blemishes, it means that your skin is very dehydrated. In this case, as dermatologists recommend, you should drink plenty of water and moisturize your skin every night with plenty of moisturizer or even better with a moisturizing lotion for the sun, rich in antioxidants such as vitamin E and extracts. plants with soothing properties, such as aloe, mallow and calendula.

If your tan still looks like a “geographical map”, it is due to both the heterogeneity of melanin and the skin that peels, mainly on the shoulders, décolleté and areas where it has burned. If this is your problem, then at night do a good peeling using a fiber glove. By removing the layer of dead cells, your skin will gain radiance, and uniformity.
