How to Treat and Prevent Dark Spots
Clear, glowing skin is considered a mark of youth and beauty. And while we may strive for a brighter looking complexion, there are a lot of factors working against us. One of the hardest skin issues to deal with is age spots. These dark spots can be small like a freckle or become larger and are caused by excess pigmentation in the skin due to sun exposure and damage. While it’s easier to prevent these spots than it is to reverse them, quality skincare can give you back your even tone.
How to Prevent Age Spots
Simply put, sun protection is the number one step when it comes to stopping age spots from popping up. Since they’re caused by sun damage, avoiding UV rays and wearing sunscreen every single day (even if you’re not spending a significant amount of time outside) is essential. Sun shining in from windows and even the exposure you get from a quick walk is enough to have an effect.
So be sure to use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every day, and reapply as needed (about every two hours if you’re in the sun). Try: Daylight Radiance Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 32 with LSR10®.
How to Treat Age Spots
Turning back time and fading dark spots can be a real challenge, but a well-rounded routine, focused on repair can do wonders for your skin. We already know that vitamin C can prevent damage caused by the sun, but it can also repair existing damage. Combined with gentle acids like azelaic and lactic acids, it can create a more even complexion. Azelaic acid targets the overproduction of melanin, lightening dark spots without changing the tone of the surrounding skin. Lactic acid helps exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover, so you get refreshed, renewed looking skin. Start your day with this exfoliating step. Try: Reveal Biomimetic Peel Pads with LSR10®.
Incorporating a vitamin C treatment into your routine can also prevent age spots since the ingredient actively works to protect the skin by neutralizing damaging free radicals that can lead to dark marks. Applying a vitamin C serum before your sunscreen ensures you have the ultimate protection. Honokiol, a component of Magnolia Bark and EVER’s patented LSR10®, is another potent ingredient that can help to boost your skin’s natural resistance to damage and aging. Try: Daytime Brightening Serum 10% Vitamin C Booster and Youthful Quattro Peptide Face & Eye Serum with LSR10®
