Pigmentation Spots: Want to Avoid a “Map of Spots” on Your Face? Do This Every Day
Prevention is key. The best way to avoid pigmentation spots is to use high, broad-spectrum UV protection every day. The easiest way is to switch to a day cream with SPF 30 or higher that also protects against UVA rays. That way, UV protection becomes a built-in part of your daily morning routine.
Pigmentation spots—or melasma, the correct medical term—develop when the skin is exposed to UV rays without adequate protection. Early spring, when the skin has not been exposed to much sunlight throughout the winter, is a time when we need to be especially careful. The damage often occurs before the sun even feels particularly warm.
If you use birth control pills or are pregnant, you are at greater risk. Higher hormone levels make the skin more prone to developing pigmentation spots, which is why it’s especially important to be vigilant during these periods. Many people also use the winter months for more invasive skin treatments—remember that newly treated skin is particularly vulnerable after such procedures.
The protective effect of UV filters decreases over time. This means that if it has been more than 2–3 hours since you applied your SPF product, the level of protection is no longer as high as stated on the packaging. In other words, the protection you applied in the morning will not be fully effective if you sit out in the sun during your lunch break or later in the afternoon. Remember to reapply regularly whenever you are exposed to the sun.
