Age Spots & Hyperpigmentation
As we age, our skin undergoes various changes. Among these, many people over the age of 50, and sometimes younger, experience age spots. These spots may result from an overproduction of melanin due to prolonged sun exposure or genetic factors. Hyperpigmentation, or the darkening of skin in certain areas, can also be caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation.
To address these conditions, early treatment is crucial, and prevention is key. Using sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 every day, regardless of the weather, wearing sunglasses, hats, and protective clothing, can help prevent these spots from forming.
