Stop ✋ scrolling if you deal with pesky dark spots/hyperpigmentation of the face! 1️⃣the foundation of preventing and reducing hyperpigmentation: apply a tinted sunscreen to your face daily to filter visible light with iron oxides in the tinted sunscreen (more than 50% of the sun’s rays hitting the Earth’s surface are within the visible light spectrum) 🧴 ➡️CeraVe Sheer tint SPF 30, EltaMD UV Clear tinted SPF 46, SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 2️⃣apply a vitamin c serum in the morning before sunscreen to neutralize free radicals from sunlight ☀️ ➡️SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF, Naturium Vit C Complex Serum, Maelove The Glow Maker 3️⃣super important tip: use a retinoid in the evening (if you’re not pregnant): increases cell turnover and helps reduce dark spots and wrinkles ➡️ CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum, Olay Retinol 24, SkinBetter AlphaRet #melasma #hyperpigmentation #retinoid #retinol #vitamincserum #tintedsunscreen #sunscreen #darkspots #evidencebased #evidencebasedmedicine
