Our help can easily reduce hyperpigmentation and prevent new dark spots, so you can feel confident again.
WHAT ARE DARK SPOTS?
Skin hyperpigmentation is a common condition where certain areas of skin appear darker due to excessive melanin production.
Although hyperpigmentation is generally harmless, it can cause cosmetic concerns that lead people to seek dermatological treatments or home remedies to manage it.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?
Dark spots, also known as age spots, sun spots, or liver spots, can appear as patches in brown, black, gray, red, or pink colors, and they come in different sizes and shapes. These spots usually show up on skin that’s frequently exposed to the sun, like the face, hands, and arms. However, the specific areas where they occur can differ based on factors such as location, culture, clothing, and lifestyle.
WHAT CAUSES DARK SPOTS?
Dark spots can appear on the skin due to various reasons. One of the main causes is excessive exposure to the sun, which leads to the production of additional melanin. These spots are commonly found on the face, shoulders, and hands, which are the areas most exposed to the sun. Hormonal imbalances during pregnancy or menopause can also lead to uneven melanin production and the formation of dark spots. Conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis can leave behind brown spots as a form of trauma to the skin, and with age, the skin’s ability to recover decreases, making it difficult for these spots to heal efficiently. Additionally, dark patches can be caused by the side effects of ingested medication or topical cosmetics and creams, which can irritate the skin.
What are some ways to prevent dark spots and maintain youthful skin?
Prevention is key when it comes to age spots, especially at a younger age before they have formed. Your skin can age much faster without protection from the sun’s harmful rays, which can result in age spots developing sooner than expected. To preserve your youthful skin, here are some tips that can help.
It’s important to use sun protection creams every time you go outside. High SPF creams are not just for sunbathing anymore. Incorporating NIVEA LUMINOUS630® Even Glow Day Fluid (SPF50) into your daily skincare routine can protect your exposed skin from harmful rays all day long.
Supplement your day cream with NIVEA LUMINOUS630® Even Glow Concentrated Serum to balance your new melanin production and prevent the formation of new dark spots on the skin.
Avoid excessive sun exposure, especially during times of highest UV radiation depending on your location’s climate. Always use sunscreen with the proper SPF and try to avoid solarium and artificial tanning beds as they can contribute to the premature appearance of age spots.
What is the best way to treat dark spots and achieve an even skin tone?
To protect your skin from UV light, it’s important to apply NIVEA LUMINOUS630® Even Glow Day Fluid SPF50 every day, even on cooler or overcast days. This will help minimize your skin’s exposure to harmful UV rays.
Seeking specialist advice for your skin is important too. Don’t wait until you have a problem to see a dermatologist. Starting at age 40, it’s recommended to have an age spot check-up once a year for prevention. Your skin care professional can also advise you on the best cosmetic solutions for your skin type. Before considering invasive and expensive procedures, try establishing a regular skincare routine.
In the morning, start your day with NIVEA LUMINOUS630® Even Glow Concentrated Serum, followed by NIVEA LUMINOUS630® Even Glow Day Fluid SPF50. This will protect existing spots from darkening and prevent their reappearance.
In the evening, after cleansing your skin, apply NIVEA LUMINOUS630® Even Glow Concentrated Serum followed by NIVEA LUMINOUS630® Even Glow Night Complexion Care for regeneration and revitalization. For intensive treatment around the eye area, where age spots may be more prominent, gently dab on NIVEA LUMINOUS630® Even Glow Eye Serum. This specialized solution helps brighten and soothe the skin tone around your eyes.
