Prevent Age Spots

Age spots, or hyperpigmentation, are caused by cumulative sun exposure. Age spots are characterized by light brown to black spots on areas that are most exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck and hands.

Although age spots can be treated with the right products, preventing age spots is also possible, and safer. A protective and preventative skin care regimen and a healthy lifestyle will contribute to healthy, even skin.

Daily use of sunscreen is essential to preventing age spots. A sun protection lotion that protects against both UVA and UVB rays is best, such as La Roche-Posay Anthelios SX or SkinCeuticals Physical UV Defense SPF 30.

Another great way to prevent age spots is to fight free radial damage with antioxidant products such as SkinCeuticals' C E Ferulicq, which also boosts the effect of your photoprotection to eight times its natural state.

A combination of sunscreen and free radical fighting products is the first step to preventing unsightly hyperpigmentation, as well as promoting skin health and vitality.
