How to lighten post-summer dark spots?
If the tanning leaves us gradually, the pigmentary spots seem more visible than ever... We explain why and, above all, how to reduce them with the help of well-chosen products !
Why are dark spots always more visible after the summer?
This is really all about the difference between a sun tan and sun spots. Melanin is the reason for both. It is activated to protect our skin and to help us tan but sometimes over-exposure to UV rays sends the melanocytes (the melanin producing cells) into overdrive and they produce more and more cells that leave dark spots on the surface of the skin.
Can you get rid of dark spots completely?
Removing a pigment stain 100% with cosmetics is not possible, for the simple reason that it would require an extremely large quantity of exfoliating agents to eliminate the superficial layer of the skin, and therefore the brown spots (which would be dangerous to use alone). To strongly reduce or even eliminate a pigmentation spot in certain cases, you can book a professional peeling (which we do in a cabin), laser sessions or cryotherapy (performed by a dermatologist). As you can see, cosmetics cannot eliminate spots, but they can really reduce the "Dalmatian effect", as long as the chosen treatments are adapted and used regularly... and they are excellent for prevention!

Lastly, if there is one thing to remember to help in the fight against dark spots, it’s the use of sun protection all year round. Beyond preventing dark spots, did you know that using an SPF helps to prevent premature skin ageing? So look for a high SPF in your moisturiser and your foundation or BB cream.
