The best approach is systematically applying photoprotection in the sunniest months together with behaving responsibly in relation to the sun.
-
Protect yourself from the sun to prevent pigmentation marks from appearing or getting worse. Avoid the sun when its rays are the most dangerous, that is, between 10 am and 3 pm.
- Choose your photoprotection carefully. Its sun protection factor (SPF) should be at least 20 (or 30 if you have fair skin).
- Take oral dietary supplements (capsules or tablets) before and during exposure to better prepare your skin for the sun.
Never expose babies to the sun. Protect children using clothing and a special sun cream. 80% of skin problems result from the subject being exposed to the sun prior to age 18.
For an existing pigmentation problem, you may see your skin improve if you systematically apply a photoprotector for two to five years from April to October. Indeed, it is the sun that activates pigmentation, so systematically protecting yourself from UV rays may help fix the situation.
