Freckles, discolorations, and spots are common skin phenomena and typically don't indicate serious health issues. Here, we explore what causes these skin conditions and how to effectively manage them.

What Are Skin discolorations (melasma)?

Skin discolorations, scientifically known as melasma, are brown spots that appear on the skin's surface. The primary cause of melasma is sun exposure, with spots often appearing on the face, hands, and décolleté. These spots result from an excessive concentration of melanin in the skin cells (melanocytes). Prevention is key, involving year-round sun protection, especially in summer, and regular application of high SPF sunscreen.

Spots can also be linked to hormonal changes, such as those during pregnancy, known as melasma due to overproduction of melanin. While freckles and spots appear similar, they are distinct conditions but can be managed similarly.

How to Treat Skin discolorations

Freckles generally do not require treatment as they are not harmful. Over time, they may fade or become less noticeable. For more permanent spots, there are numerous non-invasive cosmetology options available, including creams, serums, and face oils. These products often contain active ingredients designed to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme responsible for melanin production.

Effective Ingredients for Treating Discolorations

  • Allantoin: Soothes and repairs skin.
  • Niacinamide: Reduces inflammation and hyperpigmentation.
  • Arbutin: Natural skin brightener.
  • Vitamin C: Antioxidant that improves skin tone.
  • Salicylic Acid: Exfoliates and renews skin.
  • Bakuchiol: Natural alternative to retinol.
  • Bisabolol: Reduces skin irritation and balances tone.

Important Tips

  • Gradual Introduction: If you're new to Vitamin C, start by using it three times a week at night. Alternate Vitamin A and Vitamin C every other night during the first week. In the morning, use another serum such as Le Paris White Caviar. From the second week, apply Vitamin C in the morning and Vitamin A at night. Always use a high-protection sunscreen during the day.
  • Combination Use: For best results, Mon Elixir should be applied in combination with Vitamin C. Vitamin C not only prevents sun damage but also repairs damage such as blemishes and discolorations caused by sun exposure.

By following these guidelines and using the right products, you can effectively manage freckles and discolorations, achieving a clearer and more even skin tone.
