Spots on the skin

Large, small, brown, brown … leaving because of sunlight and give a bit of dirt and skin care. How to prevent and eliminate them forever?.
Sunlight is the first suspect to appear for the dreaded brown spots on the skin. Dermatologists recognize that the primary root cause is exposure to visible light daily, not just the sun as generally believed. They appear more frequently in women than in men, especially during pregnancy, by taking anovulatory or when suffering from hormonal disorderly and also by the consumption of other drugs such as AEDs. In other cases arise for no apparent reason.

The treatment for this type of stain is twofold: to avoid completely visible light, not just sun exposure, using a cream with sunscreen every day and full-screen, during the night, a cream depigmentation (especially based on acid KOJIC or hydroquinone) to clarify the spots.

Indicate that there are two kinds of brown. The first, to be clarified in the winter and darken in summer, are the Chloasma Medicamentosum which are usually on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip. The latter not vary, are the solar lentigo that appear especially on the back of their hands, but also in the face. Stay away freckles, and tumors melanocytic nevus.

It should be remembered that there is a serious error of concept in the theme of blemishes and is the belief that only gives you the sunlight when you go to the pool or the beach, and the reality is that one is exposed to light in when it comes out from home. A person with chloasma, a long walk in the shade it is darkening the spots. Many women were not removed because these pigmentations are not completely protected from light and when they recommend a sunscreen that is created just for when they go to the countryside or the beach.

Sometimes we feel that we are at the age spots, as the second type of brown, appear towards the 40 years (some already have them for 30 years) is the solar lentigo which is a manifestation of photoaging. They appear mostly in the back of the hands, neck and forearms, because they are areas that we protect less of the sun, but also emerging in the face. The lentigo is a chronic sun damage, and is the result of the sun that is taken since it was born. It affects more who are most exposed to UV rays throughout their lives and have clearer skin.

Laser, peelings, vitamin A

It has been shown that retinoic acid or vitamin A Pure is a good ingredient, as well as reducing wrinkles, is also able to clarify the spots on the skin, especially those due to photoaging. There are many studies that show that retinoic acid is very effective to treat the solar lentigo.

There are also recent scientific data that the pretreatment of the skin with this acid prevents sun damage, that is also going to improve wrinkles and blemishes that are going to prevent the emergence of new ones. Therefore, it would be a treatment for life

The laser, especially the so-called alexandrite laser, is now a fairly effective, although somewhat expensive, to remove stains from the skin, especially when they are resistant to creams and peelings. Although disappear come back if you continue sunbathing. The duration of treatment varies but usually by one or two meetings.

The peeling is one of the means available to clarify or remove stains. Is to apply to the skin in a consultation of a dermatologist or at home on medical prescription, a chemical in the form of acid that exfoliates the pigmented cells. One of the most widely used is an average depth of peeling, with retinoic acid combined with active ingredients. For more superficial staining is used quite glycolic acid and other acids fruit.
 
What should I do if my skin has a tendency to form spots, in midsummer, when we go to the pool, the beach or simply more time outdoors?.

High protection. Protection, SPF 30 protection provided all the time, especially when the temperature is high. Alternating sunshine and shade, allowing skin to cool him every little while.
