Large, small, brown, brown … come because of the sunlight and give a dirty look and a little skin care. How to prevent and eliminate them forever?.

Sunlight is the first to blame for the dreaded brown spots appear on the skin. Dermatologists recognize that the main underlying cause is exposure to visible light daily, not just the sun as is generally believed. They appear most often in women than in men, especially during pregnancy, making anovulatory or when suffering from hormonal disorders and the consumption of other drugs such as antiepileptics. In other cases arise for no apparent reason.

Treatment for this type of stains is twofold: to completely avoid visible light, not just the exposure to the sun, using sunscreen sunblock daily and overnight skin lightening cream (especially acid based Kojic or hydroquinone) to clarify the spots.

Indicate that there are two types of brown spots. The former, which are cleared in the winter and darker in the summer, the melasma or chloasma which are usually located on the cheeks, forehead and upper lip. The latter do not vary, are solar lentigines are most common on the back of the hands, but also in the face. Outside there are freckles, melanocytic nevi and tumors.

Spots on the skin

It should be remembered that there is a serious misconception in the area of the spots and is the belief that only gives you the sunlight when you go to the pool or beach, and the reality is that one is exposed to light when you leave from home. A person with chloasma, a long walk in the shade it’s getting dark stains. Many women do not remove these discolorations are not fully protected because of the light and when they recommend a sunscreen will believe it only when they go to the countryside or the beach.

Sometimes we believe are age spots, as the second type of brown spots appear by age 40 (some already have them at age 30) is the solar lentigo is a manifestation of photoaging. Appear mostly on the back of the hands, chest and forearms, because they are less protective zones of the sun, but also leave in the face. Lentigo is a chronic sun damage, and is the result of the sun that is taken from birth. It affects more to who else is exposed to UV rays over your life and your skin is clearer.

Laser peels, vitamin A

It has been shown that retinoic acid or vitamin A pure is a good ingredient and reduce wrinkles, is also able to clear the spots on the skin, especially those due to photoaging. There are many studies showing that retinoic acid is very effective in treating solar lentigines.

There are also recent scientific data that pretreatment of skin with this acid prevents sun damage, ie as well as improving wrinkles and blemishes you have, will prevent the emergence of new ones. Therefore, it would be a lifelong treatment

The laser, alexandrite laser specially called, is actually a quite effective procedure, although somewhat expensive, to remove stains from the skin, especially when they are resistant to creams and peels. The laser is indicated for melanic spots that appear with photoaging skin. Although gone out again if you follow the sun. The duration of treatment varies but usually just one or two sessions.

The peeling is one of the means available to lighten or remove stains. It consists in applying to the skin dermatologist’s office or at home by prescription, a chemical in the form of acid that exfoliates these pigment cells. One of the most used is a medium-depth peeling with trichloroacetic acid or retinoic acid combined with active ingredients. For surface stains quite used glycolic acid and other fruit acids.

There are also instruments of “camouflage” popularly known as corrective concealer, which is a miracle product to successfully camouflage the stains. There are several types that differ in the degree of coverage and the presentation of either stick, pencil, cream … only the color will be chosen to be as close as possible to one’s complexion and slightly lighter than the fund of the makeup. It should be applied sparingly and blend so there are no marks and apply under makeup.

What should I do if my skin has a tendency to form spots, in midsummer, when we go to the pool, the beach or are simply more time outdoors?.

High protection. Protection, SPF 30 protection provided at all times, especially when the temperature is high. Alternating sun and shade, let it cool skin every little while. Moderation, in short

It allows, among other things, calculate how many hours of sunshine can be

The ultimate in facial care creams are not the only technology capable of calculating how many hours can a sun without burning, wrinkles represent a graph or predict the chances of skin cancer.

This technology could come from pearls to those who suspect nothing short of miraculous abilities cosmetics that promise, because with it you can prove scientifically whether they work or not.

Clarity Pro, as it is called the product in question, lets you know what percentage of the facial skin has wrinkles, is affected by exposure to the sun too long or bacteria, resulting in inflamed pores.

Manufactured by a small company in San Jose (Silicon Valley in California) called BrighTex, the software gives this information in the form of graphs that allow you to quickly see the status of the skin.

The product can also calculate how many hours of sunshine can be in the future depending on the type and condition of the skin.

This makes it a valuable tool for physicians and aestheticians, who may recommend products or surgical procedures more informed and also show patients before and after treatments.

Clarity Pro will be released next month and, according to News.com site specializing in technology, is intended for beauty salons, cosmetic manufacturers, researchers and dermatologists.

Upon completion of the patent process next year, the technology will also be able to predict the likelihood that the person suffers from skin cancer due to sun exposure in the past.

This is the latest chapter in the convergence between technology and dermatology.

Both fields are increasingly being delivered more aid each other, as the growing number of cosmetic manufacturers who strive to adopt technologies from Silicon Valley to bring the sophisticated dresser creams.

From tiny spheres of minerals designed to penetrate the skin to muscle relaxants, cosmetics companies like Estee Lauder, Freeze 24 / 7 or Procter & Gamble (makers of Olay) does not skimp on research to find the coveted formula to get beat the clock .

Among the new fields that until recently had nothing to do with vanity is that of nanotechnology, the science that studies the behavior of the very small.

This is the microscopic manipulation to achieve an industry giant, which last year moved 10,000 million U.S. dollars and growing at a rate of 6 percent per year.

In an attempt to get the magic potion killed quite a few ideas that once were considered bright, like the microneedles that penetrate the skin to facilitate the passage of substances.

These microneedles seemed ideal until it was discovered that undesirable components such as preservatives, irritants and microbes could also penetrate the skin with rejuvenating ingredients.

The microneedles have been replaced by tiny areas of proteinaceous material dissolving enzymes in the skin, or muscle relaxants made from an ingredient containing anti-anxiety pills.

The industry strives to prove to these and other refined sugar, but for consumers there is no guarantee of the effectiveness of these technologies.

The problem is that the creams are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which means that the government does not endorse their effectiveness.

Moreover, in most cases the treatments are so new as to have stood the test of time, and this must be added an innate ambiguity of the remedies that promise to stop the “evil” of old age.

Problems could be overcome by technologies such as Clarity Pro, and that tons of publicity about the benefits of the product should be accompanied by computer imaging to show that the product was used for something.

Homemade facial masks are very easy to do. The first thing you should know is that there are two types: the relaxing and stimulating. The relaxation is to moisturize the skin and cool. The stimulants are the ones that cause the blood to flow better, leaving the skin firm.

Both types of masks offer the best protection against dry skin, acne and scars. Of course, everything depends on what ingredients to take, but the purpose is almost always those that are appointed. Ideally, allow themselves to be placed at least 15 minutes, but if necessary can also be overnight. Then clean the face and moisturize again.

The process must begin with a normal cleaning with mild soap and hot steam or hot face cloth to open pores and the masks work better. Put a little honey to prepare the skin.
