Deal With Brown Spots

Being beautiful means being in constant battle with everything that can dull your skin. Brown spots are one such adversary.

What are brown spots?
Brown spots are something we could well do without. They are caused when the melanin produced by the melanocytes to protect the skin against solar rays no longer disperses, and remains blocked. However the reasons for this to happen vary. It can be down to hormonal changes (such as weight gain, a medication), ageing or excess of sun. One thing you can do to stop brown spots appearing is to protect your face in summer by using a complete sunscreen.

De-pigmenting creams
Once you have got brown spots, there is only one solution and that is to use a de-pigmenting cream. These contain substances, which unblock the melanin and slow down the activity of melanocytes. If this dose not works for you, a dermatologist can prescribe a chemical treatment containing quinine, vitamin A acid and corticoid, but there are known side effects.
