Autumn: The Best Time to Even Out Skin Tone

As we are exposed to the sun, dark spots, sunspots, and uneven skin tone appear on our skin. This period offers opportunities to repair your skin and start winter with a smoother and healthier appearance. So, what should you do in autumn to even out your skin tone?

What Are Skin Blemishes Left by Summer and Why Do They Occur?

Sunlight increases melanin production in the skin, leading to hyperpigmentation, or dark spots. These spots become more prominent on unprotected skin during the summer. Studies show that 70% of those exposed to the sun after summer experience skin blemishes and uneven skin tone. These spots can become permanent over time, so it's important to take action in autumn to alleviate these issues.

Skin Blemishes: Which Type of Skin Blemish Do You Have?

1. Sunspots:

Dark spots appearing on sun-exposed skin in summer, especially on the face, hands, and décolleté area, are the most common skin problems.

2. Melasma:

Triggered by hormonal changes and sensitive to sunlight, these spots usually appear as dark brown on the forehead and cheeks.

3. Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation:

Dark spots remaining on the skin after acne fall into this category.

4. Age Spots:

Brown spots that appear on the skin over time, typically as a result of sun exposure, and are signs of aging.

Spot Protocol for Evening Skin Tone: AHA+BHA and Pigment Serum

A regular and effective skincare routine is essential to combat skin blemishes. OIA Pure Skin AHA+BHA Serum and OIA Pigment Serum are ideal products for evening out skin tone and reducing dark spots.

• AHA+BHA Serum (2 Nights a Week): Apply to your skin twice a week, in the evening. AHA gently cleanses dead cells on the skin surface, while BHA penetrates pores for deep cleansing. This serum is effective for post-acne spots and sun-induced blemishes. With regular use, you will notice your skin becoming brighter and more even-toned.
• Pigment Serum (Every Evening): Apply OIA Pigment Serum to cleansed skin every evening. With ingredients like Niacinamide and Vitamin C, this serum targets dark spots and brightens your skin tone. Regular use helps homogenize skin tone and reduce the appearance of spots.

Why Does This Protocol Work?

Skin spots generally become more visible due to accumulated dead cells and melanin buildup on the skin surface. AHA and BHA accelerate the skin's renewal process by clearing these dead cells. Subsequently, the Pigment Serum balances melanin production and helps reduce existing spots. This two-step protocol makes your skin appear fresher, brighter, and blemish-free.

By regularly exfoliating and nourishing your skin with the right serums, you can enter winter with fresher and younger-looking skin.
