TREAT PIGMENTATION SPOTS IN WINTER

Health

Pigment spots are a skin pigmentation disorder caused by an excess of the pigment melanin in the body. It is a skin condition that most often troubles people who don’t indulge in sunbathing. Spots of various sizes, shapes and colours often appear on the face, collar, shoulders, upper back and arms.

Pigmented spots usually appear in summer, when the skin is exposed to intense sun. However, the problem doesn’t go away during the cold season either: cold, wind and extreme temperature differences lead to an imbalance in the skin’s moisture, causing the skin to become scratchy and dry, which is how pigmented spots appear. Visits to tanning beds, various skin treatments, masks and the like also contribute to the appearance of pigment spots. Sometimes pigment spots are a sign of various health problems: liver, endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal disorders, trauma or pregnancy.

Winter is the perfect time to remove pigmented spots. During the cold season, the skin is not exposed to the intense sun, which allows for a proper assessment of the various skin changes that may have occurred and for taking care of the skin’s condition. By using the right and effective skin care products to remove blemishes and improve your skin’s immunity during the winter, you can face the summer without pigmentation spots. Before removing pigmented spots, a dermatologist should be consulted to determine the type of spots that have appeared, the causes of the spots, the possibility of health problems and the best method of removing the spots. One of the most effective is the regular use of top quality creams and serums.

Products with lactic and glycolic acids are effective in removing pigmented spots – they lighten spots, strengthen the skin and have anti-inflammatory properties. Brightening and bleaching serums not only lighten spots, but also prevent the formation of new pigment spots and speed up the skin’s renewal process. Skincare products that slow down melanin synthesis, smooth and firm the skin, and lighten pigmented spots should also be used. Cleansers with lactic acids are more effective in removing pigment spots. An active cleanser with lactic acids leads to a better absorption of the good properties of creams and serums. This skin care product cleanses thoroughly, moisturises the skin and promotes faster cell renewal.
