When preparing for a vacation, we carefully pack our cosmetics bag, including various sunscreens. However, many are unaware that pigmentation spots can appear not only from the sun but also from familiar fragrances or even smoothies. Upon returning from vacation, you may find a dark spot on your skin. Causes of Pigmentation Spots The problem of pigmentation most often occurs in women over 30 years old. Pigmentation spots can appear for various reasons, and it is important to take care of your skin to minimize risks. In 80% of cases, pigmentation begins due to minor injuries that we inflict on ourselves. Here are some of them: Popping Pimples Popping pimples and constantly touching blackheads can lead to the formation of micro-scars on the skin. This, in turn, contributes to the development of pigmentation, especially in the summer when the sun is active. If a wound is exposed to sunlight, it can turn into a noticeable scar. Start fighting acne early to avoid clogged pores and pigmentation. If a pimple does appear, do not touch it with your hands — use a treatment product for quick resolution. Facial Hair Removal Facial hair removal can be a dangerous procedure, and many women do not realize the risks. Mechanical hair removal can cause irritation and activate melanin production, leading to pigmentation. To reduce risks, use a moisturizer before the procedure and avoid sunlight for three days afterward. Laser Procedures Without Doctor Consultation If your skin is prone to pigmentation, laser procedures may be contraindicated, as they can exacerbate the situation. Although there are gentler methods, lasers can still cause burns and, consequently, pigmentation. Methods to Combat Pigmentation If pigmentation appears in the summer, it may be worth waiting until autumn when the spots may become lighter. However, if the problem persists, action must be taken. Excessive activity of melanin-producing cells can be caused by hormonal changes. In this case, it is better to consult a specialist to address the problem from within. Consulting a doctor will help identify the causes of pigmentation and restore hormonal balance. After that, you can consult a cosmetologist to eliminate external manifestations, for example, through peeling. If it is not possible to visit a doctor, you can temporarily conceal the problem with special products. If after your vacation you notice a small spot, start using a brightening product, such as Achromin concentrate. Apply it to the problem area twice a day, and the spot will begin to lighten. If the pigmentation is old, try Sesderma serum, which helps regulate melanin production. For improving skin tone, a cream concentrate with protein extract will be suitable. Read the instructions and choose the right product to avoid relapses in the future.
