Skin blemishes and freckles are one of the main skin problems faced by many women (but also men) in countries like Greece, where sun exposure is higher. Prevention and protection of our skin are crucial for maintaining good health. But when skin blemishes and freckles appear, it is important to know our allies, who will help drastically and with the right active ingredients, to eliminate them.
What are skin blemishes or freckles?
Skin blemishes and freckles are the mildest skin damage from our exposure to the sun’s UV rays. The main reason for their appearance is the activation of melanocytes and the deposition of melanin in the skin and skin. For this reason, they are more common on dark skin.
This problem is also related to the genetic predisposition of individuals, it affects both sexes, however it is more acute in women, who are more sensitive due to hormonal changes that occur in their body during their lifetime either from natural causes or from taking birth control pills.
Also skin problems such as eczema and acne that cause inflammation in the skin, create a substrate for the appearance of pigmented spots.
How can we prevent the formation of skin blemishes and freckles?
We protect our skin and avoid the formation of skin spots, freckles and generally hyperpigmentation, following a few simple but basic rules:
- Avoid direct exposure to the sun during the hot hours of the day.
- Avoid prolonged sunbathing for many hours.
- Wear good sunscreen. Choosing the right sunscreen is an equally important process, as a product with poor quality UV filters or other ingredients can cause the same or more serious damage to our skin. We unreservedly recommend the sunscreen SUNSCREEN CREAM HELIATOR with high protection from UVA and UVB rays, which at the same time offers hydration and antioxidant protection.
- We wear our sunscreen even when we are in the shade or if the sun is hidden behind clouds.
- We do not forget that in fact no sunscreen is waterproof! For this reason we renew it often, every time we get out of the water, sweat or wipe.
But what if we already have skin blemishes or freckles?
