One of the skin problems that appears during the summer: How to correct and prevent hyperpigmentation spots
The main cause of age spots is sun exposure. Excessive exposure can lead to oxidative stress and, over time, age spots on your skin. Exposure to UVA and UVB rays is also the leading cause of premature aging.
Acne scars, environmental factors, hormonal changes, genetics… many other causes can be responsible for brown spots on the skin. If you want to fade them to achieve an even and radiant complexion, Bazar Bio has selected skincare products containing the most effective ingredients to combat these spots without resorting to more invasive treatments. This problem of pigmentation spots is one of the most time-consuming to treat; it requires patience and preventative measures. Results will appear gradually after several cell renewal cycles.
HOW TO CORRECT AND PREVENT HYPERPIGMENTATION SPOTS
USE A VITAMIN C SERUM IN THE MORNING
Since dark spots are caused by oxidative stress, the best way to prevent and correct them is to use antioxidant skincare. Vitamin C is the best antioxidant, protecting the skin by neutralizing free radicals. Its brightening properties help repair and even out skin tone. Furthermore, vitamin C is clinically recognized as an excellent stimulant of the skin's natural collagen production.
EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN
Regular exfoliation promotes faster cell renewal, helping to fade dark spots. Exfoliate twice a week with a mechanical exfoliant or an enzymatic peel. This will also enhance the absorption of the skincare products you apply afterward. You can also use an exfoliating lotion such as Tata Harper's Concentrated Brightening Essence .

USE A RETINOL SKINCARE PRODUCT IN THE EVENING
Retinol helps encourage cell renewal, making way for new cells more quickly. It will therefore help to gradually fade stubborn pigment spots.
USE TARGETED SKINCARE
These targeted serums have the unique ability to penetrate deep into the skin for effective treatment. These anti-dark spot serums are applied under your day cream.
(ALWAYS) PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM THE SUN
To prevent the appearance of brown spots on your skin, sun protection is essential! 90% of the signs of skin aging are caused by the sun, whose UVB and UVA rays reach your skin even on cloudy days. Certain photosensitizing products or medications can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, so you must be especially vigilant.
LEDs: A Professional Treatment for Your Home
LED photomodulation, or light therapy, uses different wavelengths emitted by diodes, with varying penetration depths depending on the issue being treated. For treating pigmentation spots, we recommend near-infrared light, which penetrates deeply to stimulate skin regeneration and repair. Numerous studies have proven the effectiveness of LED photomodulation in stimulating fibroblasts and promoting skin cell regeneration.
An LED mask allows you to perform your sessions directly at home. With one ten-minute session per day, five times a week, the first effects on established pigment spots will be visible after six to eight sessions. These sessions are completely painless and risk-free. LED photomodulation can be performed in all seasons and on all skin types. As always, consistency is key to achieving lasting results. Repeated exposure to LED light will allow for deep repair of the different layers of the epidermis and consequently, the fading of pigment spots.
Adopting Radiance-Boosting Dietary Supplements
Dietary supplements will work from within to help fade spots, even out skin tone and improve skin radiance.
