Don’t Wait Until You See A Spot
Sun exposure causes pigmentation, or dark spots, to form over time. Once a dark spot forms, it is much harder to tackle. So the idea is to treat dark spots as if they were wrinkles, and address them even before they get a chance to surface.
There’s a range of brightening skincare on the market targeting different aspects of pigmentation.
“Some products help to block pigment formation, some mop up free radicals that contribute to pigment formation, and others prevent the transfer of pigment from cells to the surface of the skin,” explains Dr Joyce Lim, dermatologist at Joyce Lim Skin and Laser Clinic.
