If, like me, you are tired of having to use makeup base or concealers to camouflage the spots, it is time to turn to a specific cosmetic that helps us to stop their appearance or erase those that have already appeared.
And by the way, why do the spots appear?
The "culprit" behind the appearance of the spots is melagenesis . Mela what? It is the natural process of the skin responsible for the production of pigments. Depending on the amount of melanin produced, we acquire a lighter or darker skin tone. This process can be affected by external and internal factors that can lead to a localized overproduction of melanin, causing spots and an uneven skin tone. The main cause of melanin overproduction is exposure to the sun, although genetic factors, hormonal factors and aging of the skin, among others, also play an important role.
Therefore, to combat blemishes, the main thing is to prevent their appearance with a good sunscreen. And, if they have already been "installed", as in my case, be very constant with the use of depigmenting creams and serums, which will help us to blur them and unify the tone. Yes, one application a week is useless. This, in any case, can be reserved for a peeling, which will help us to eliminate dead cells and equalize the texture of the skin.
Trust me and do, like me, what the dermatologist recommends: complete the use of a good anti-blemish cream during the day (better if you apply sun protection afterwards) with the use of a serum or depigmenting blisters at night ( including kojic acid, azelaic acid, or licorice or algae extract).
Ah! And don't forget about vitamin C, a great ingredient for brightening skin and even out skin tone. I can attest to this because I am addicted to creams with vitamin C.

€ 19.40Anti-stain sunscreen
The best weapon against stains is to prevent them. I take good note and never leave the house without having applied a sunscreen before and if it is specific, like this one from Ladival, which effectively prevents the appearance of stains and corrects existing ones, better than better. What finally convinced me when choosing it is that it not only protects from UVA and UVB rays, but also from infrared rays, and that, in addition, it provides a note of color, thereby saving me the CC Cream or the base of makeup.
