How To Effectively Treat Hyperpigmentation

Reduce Sun Exposure

Although anyone can develop hyperpigmentation, it's certainly much more likely to develop in the form of age spots in individuals who have spent a lot of time in the sun. Furthermore, those with fair skin, freckles, or a history of frequently burning in the sun are even more susceptible. One easy way to prevent or at least lessen or reduce hyperpigmentation is to reduce sun exposure. Individuals should try to avoid the sun between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., as this window is home to the most intense of the sun's rays. When engaging in outdoor activities, they should be sure to use a sunscreen that offers protection from UVA and UVB light. This should be applied fifteen minutes or so before going out into the sun and reapplied often and generously. Wearing protective clothing will also help, as will shielding the face using a hat. Of course, everyone enjoys being outside on a beautiful day, but opting for shady spots is much better for the skin.
