Sunspots isn't just sun exposure. The sun is the catalyst but there is usually an underlying condition within the body which makes one more prone to developing them or not. this is usually a bigger concern amount women for whom hormonal imbalance is the real culprit, making their skin less able to cope with sun exposure.
In the short term sunscreen. I use invisible zinc around my eyes and it's completely non irritating. I use the one that comes in the handy pump pack.
If you are spending long hours in the sun and getting reflected UV rays I personally think using a strong topical system is just asking for this problem to worsen in the future. No matter what topical treatment you use, the advice is always to minimise sun exposure while you heal. Sunscreen does not 100% block UV Rays, you will still get exposure. Only instead of your dead and thick epidermis providing a shield, you are now exposing raw and extremely fragile new cells to the UV. Recipe for disaster in my books. However you feel about it now, just remember it can be worse and I'm reasonably certain you don't want that to happen.
I would strongly recommend you increase your natural UV resistance with an improved diet and a nutrient packed supplement. The whole food powders are excellent. This will increase the availability in your body of antioxidants, minerals and amino acids which in combination bolsters your skins own natural sun protection
factor. There is some evidence also that supplementation significantly reduces the
appearance of sun spots and hyperpigmentation.
Sunspots\liver spots are oxidation of fats within the skin. Free radical damage. Antioxidants are a preventative. Hyper pigmentation is excess melanin caused by cells being overactive in their protective mechanism. Very similar to how cancer cells are overactive. Correct nutrition can also help with normal cell function.
Sorry, but there isn't a fast fix to this, if there were, thousands of people everywhere would be using it. |
