Over time, dark spots can appear on the face and body, especially with frequent exposure to the sun. Although not a health concern, these spots are a visible marker of age.

And how can they be corrected without damaging the skin?

Your skin is an ecosystem as rich as the Amazon rainforest. This ecosystem is called the skin flora or microbiome, and is made up of a range of microorganisms called the microbiota, with 100,000 billion bacteria and other microorganisms (fungi, yeast, viruses, etc.).

Dark spots are caused by an excessive production of localized melanin, called hyperpigmentation. Prolonged exposure to the sun throughout one’s life, and especially sunburns, tend to favor their appearance.

Sensitive skin reacts immediately to various environmental factors such as wind, cold, sun, but also stress and diet.

Symptoms can include redness, tightness, and heating sensations in the areas exposed to the sun.

The skin is able to adapt to the sun and has natural self-protection mechanisms against UVB and UVA. In some cases, these mechanisms are slow or insufficient and lead to intolerance reactions or hypersensitivity.

With the loss of collagen and elastin over time, the face’s muscles and tissues distend, lose their volume and their ability to hold the skin firmly and harmoniously, causing sagging and deeper wrinkles. Although the skin’s aging process is natural and inevitable, it is possible to take preventive action and fight it effectively with routines and care adapted to your skin’s specific needs.
