Pigment spots on the face

Altered pigmentation causes light, dark, or white spots on the face. Pigment spots on the face are common, especially in women.

Pigment spots

Pigment spots, also known as age spots or sun spots, are areas of skin that appear darker than the surrounding skin due to an excess production of melanin. They often occur as a result of sun exposure and aging, and they are commonly found on areas of the body that are frequently exposed to sunlight, such as the face, hands, arms, and shoulders.

Skincare for pigment spots

  1. Sun Protection: Protection from the sun to prevent further darkening.
  2. Topical Treatments: Look for products with Vitamin C, niacinamide, AHAs/BHAs, or retinoids.
  3. Hydration: Keep skin hydrated with moisturizers containing hyaluronic acid or glycerin.
  4. Professional Treatments: Consider options like chemical peels or laser therapy.
  5. Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild cleanser to avoid irritating the skin.

Patience: Results take time, so be consistent with your routine.
