The back-to-school anti-spot routine for an even complexion
They've arrived without warning... With skin gradually "debronzing" at the start of the new school year, brown spots are generally more and more visible. To reduce their appearance, discover our top tips and products to make up for this summer's sun abuse!
Why do spots appear?
Nature has a way of doing things: to defend itself against UV rays, the skin has melanocytes. Producing the famous melanin that determines our colour skin tone, melanocytes can have a tendency to get a little carried away, producing too much melanin pigment in an anarchic way when exposed to high levels of sunlight. Ouch... it's a stain!
But beware of predispositions... Certain profiles will need to be extra vigilant from the start of the vacations, as taking certain medications (particularly the pill), hormonal changes or simply having dark or black skin, can increase the risk of dark spots appearing.
Identifying a brown spot
Identifying a spot is simple: it's often less dark than a mole, but not necessarily round in shape. Its size will also vary: from a grain of sand to a 1 euro coin, it can spread (and darken) over several centimetres.
