How to reduce dark spots on the face

Regardless of age, skin tone or skin type, dark spots reduce complexion radiance and evenness. The mechanism responsible for this is disrupted melanin synthesis. When produced in excess, this pigment is distributed unevenly and collects in certain places, becoming visible. This disruption is caused by several factors: UV rays and pollution, which are responsible for dark spots on exposed areas like the face, neck, décolleté and hands; skin ageing, which is the source of sometimes deeper dark spots that become more widespread with age; and certain types of imperfections, which create “post-inflammatory” dark spots. Find out how to reduce their appearance and restore a bright and even skintone.

Good habits

Protect your skin from the sun

Since over-exposure to UV rays and a lack of protection can cause dark spots to appear, it is important to be particularly vigilant with sun exposure. Avoid going out in the sun during the hottest part of the day (between midday and 4pm), apply sun protection daily, and adapt your outfit to your environment: wear protective clothing and a hat in the sun.


Protect your skin from pollution

Like the sun, pollution impacts melanin synthesis and may cause dark spots to appear on the face, neck and décolleté. Whatever your surroundings and wherever you live (as pollution is also found outside the city), apply protective skin care to your face on a daily basis.


Protect imperfection-prone skin

Certain types of imperfections may leave dark spots, which remain visible for some time. To prevent this, if you are prone to imperfections, it is important not to touch them and to use a soothing skincare routine. Protect your skin from the sun every day.

Any questions?


What causes dark spots?

Dark spots on the face are caused by several factors, which impact melanin synthesis. When produced excessively, the pigment collects in certain places and this gives rise to dark spots. These factors are most often over-exposure to the sun, pollution, skin ageing, and certain types of imperfections.

What is the difference between freckles and dark spots?

They have a different root cause. Freckles are linked to genetics, while dark spots on the face are caused by over-exposure to UV rays, pollution, skin ageing, and imperfections.

How can you distinguish between the different types of dark spots?

On the basis of their appearance and location. Dark spots due to over-exposure to the sun, which are sometimes called “age spots”, can be seen on the face, décolleté and hands. Meanwhile “post-inflammatory” pigmentation spots appear where an imperfection once was.

How can you stop dark spots from reappearing?

By adopting a suitable skincare routine and protecting your skin from the sun and pollution every day.

How often should you treat dark spots?

Daily over a given period of time. It is crucial to be thorough and consistent in both treating and protecting skin.
