Dark spots: how to prevent and reduce them

Skin spots are prevented above all by protecting yourself from the sun all year round: it is the sun that triggers them or makes them darker. To fade those that are already there, consistency and specific products are needed, such as anti-spot serums and exfoliating treatments, and a few months of patience.

First of all, the sun

High protection every morning, even in winter and in the city: a light fluid like the Screensaver SPF 50+ by Jeu des Garçons or the Restoring Perfection SPF 50 cream by Valmont. Without this step, the other products work very little.

Treatments

• An anti-spot serum, such as Nia-Tech by Bakel.
• An exfoliating solution, such as AHA Solution by Bakel, which helps renew the skin's surface.
• The Extreme Renewal Serum by Insium, which helps reduce spots and fine lines.

The hands

They are among the first areas to show spots, because they are always in the sun. A specific hand cream, such as Hand-Regen by Bakel, anti-aging and anti-spot.

What to expect

Results are seen in weeks, not days. If a spot changes shape, color, or size, or appears suddenly, show it to a dermatologist.

Frequently asked questions
