Spotted skin is very sensitive, except that instead of reacting to aggression by blushing or pulling, it produces excess melanin (=spots). At the level of the epidermis, the observation is the same:collagen is altered and wrinkles form quickly. There are various causes for the disruption of melanin production (hormones, taking medication, etc.), but it is always in contact with UV that spots are created.
Treat wrinkles and spots in parallel.
There is a molecule capable of affecting skin quality and hyperpigmentation:vitamin C. This powerful antioxidant opposes free radicals generated by UV rays, pollution or stress, stimulates collagen synthesis and regulates the production of melanin. We also think of exfoliating active ingredients such as salicylic acid or LHA (a derivative), to boost cell renewal. Above all, we avoid manual scrubs and treatments with highly dosed fruit acids:it tickles the melanocytes (and a titillated melanocyte, it creates inflammation and, in the medium term, spots and wrinkles). Retinol can also be indicated, for its exfoliating action and its ability to penetrate to the first layers of the dermis. Of course, the SPF is an obligation (not less than 30).
