Brown spots on the skin: the causes

Dark spots are blemishes that appear over time. A concentration of melanin (a dark pigment produced by melanocytes - cells that produce melanin) can occur in certain areas of the body and create spots.

They are mainly due to sun exposure. The more you are exposed to the sun, the more you will develop dark spots. They appear mainly on the face because your facial skin is more delicate, and it is daily exposed.

The appearance of dark spots can also be linked to skin aging and genetic factors. Fair complexions with freckles or moles are more at risk.

During pregnancy or hormone treatment, hyperpigmentation can also happen, because hormones by stimulating melanocytes can cause a high production of melanin. This phenomenon is known as the “pregnancy mask”.

Our advice and care for an even complexion

The main way to prevent dark spots is great skin protection. We recommend that you limit the duration and frequency of sun exposure. Apply sunscreen with protection indices each time you are exposed to the sun and repeat the application of the product every two hours. These are the first steps to adopt for good prevention.
