Sunspots are one of the most worrisome aesthetic problems. After the summer, especially if you have been to the beach or pool and you have not used the photo protector correctly, you may notice how an area of hyperpigmentation appears on the skin of your face. Pigmentation, as Rocío Escalante, owner of Arbosana Farmacia, says, is a mechanism of the skin itself to protect itself from the aggressions caused by the sun’s rays. And if you have pimples, it’s because the melanocytes (the cells responsible for synthesizing melanin) haven’t worked properly. The causes can be for a variety of reasons: misuse of sun protection, mid-day exposure, use of contraceptives and other medications, hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause, or even just heredity.
But what kinds of sunspots exist? There are three types of blemishes associated with the sun’s rays, and in order to know how to treat them, you need to identify them:
- Solar Lentigines: They are dark brown, small, usually round spots that appear on the face and back of the hands.
- melasma: Also known as cloth, it is a symmetrical spot that appears on the forehead, upper lip or cheeks. The color is lighter and is associated with taking contraceptives and pregnancy.
- Freckles or freckles: They are small brown spots that appear from childhood and increase with age. They appear mainly on the face, chest, arms and back.
And how to remove it? Fortunately, there are many depigmenting treatments that help improve their appearance: these products contain some of the most powerful active ingredients to combat these problems, such as tranexamic acid, azelaic acid, retinoids, glycolic acid, kojic acid, hydroquinone or niacinamide, etc. It is useful to use these depigmenting treatments when we are not exposed to the sun, to avoid possible allergies or irritations, because their main action is to exfoliate the skin to remove the superficial layer and thus fight blemishes.
