Q: I wear spf but still get sunspots - why? A: This can be so frustrating if you are careful & diligent in order to prevent damage but they form no matter what. As to why— it’s not only due to exposure, but rather the heat the sun gives off that stimulates melanin activity. So basically, no matter how diligent you are about re-applying sunscreen, wearing a hat and staying in the shade... you cannot avoid pigment stimulation. There are treatments and products that can greatly reduce the appearance of sun spots, so don’t fret. Regardless, we need to acknowledge SPF as a non-negotiable in our skin care regimes. Besides being considered a beauty product, it’s a skin health cream that protects your canvas from developing burns and skin cancer.
