Ever noticed dark spots start to appear on your face? Also known as hyperpigmentation, these are what happens when your skin produces excess melanin, resulting in areas of the skin appearing darker than the surrounding skin. This can be caused by anything from sun exposure, to ageing, hormonal changes, or inflammation. So what can you do about them? To reduce the appearance of dark spots, applying a Vitamin C serum daily can help by protecting from UV and pollution-related redness and inflammation, and promoting a more even skin tone, helping to fade the spots over time. To prevent new dark spots from forming, it’s essential to protect the skin from sun exposure and avoid picking at or irritating the skin. 🌞
