Dark spots, or hyperpigmentation, are a common concern for the skin of the face—but they can also make an appearance on the body for many reasons. It may be from sun exposure, hormonal changes, aging, or even just a little scrape—with time, any interaction with the environment around you leads you to dark spots. The most effective way to act on hyperpigmentation is to prevent it using high SPF every day. But if you have already established dark spots you’d like to erase, there are body lotions for hyperpigmentation that can help. Make sure you combine these products with sunscreen for the best results!

In fact, the face tends to be the area most exposed to sun aggressions and, therefore, the area that suffers the most from hyperpigmentation. To tackle dark spots on the face, you’ll need to have the right skincare by your side. If you don’t know where to start, then consider a product that features the ingredients to treat dark spots, and then make sure to shield the skin every day with a sunscreen for hyperpigmentation.
