What's the Best Way to Find a Product for Fading Sun Spots?
When choosing a product that is designed to fade sun spots and discoloration, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Here are some tips to help you choose the best one.
Research Proven Ingredients. There are some ingredients out there have been proven to be dangerous, so do stay away from them. You’ll find plenty of good research for the correct ingredients, like alpha arbutin, niacinamide, kojic acid, licorice root, lemon peel bioferment, and /or topical acids (glycolic, lactic, malic, etc.).
Apply to Clean Dry Skin. Let your spot fading product be the first product you apply to your skin and let it absorb for a couple of minutes before layering on more products.
Use a Mineral Sunscreen Every Day (Even if you Work Indoors). It’s awfully counterproductive to use a lightening cream for body only then to take on more sun exposure. Be sure to apply some sunscreen (mineral preferably) even if you don’t spend much time outside. A trip to pick up your mail or walk the dog, and those minutes add up to sun exposure than can further damage skin.
