Autumn: The Best Time to Even Out Skin Tone

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

What are Skin Spots 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. Research shows that 70% of those exposed to the sun after summer experience skin spots and uneven skin tone. These spots can become permanent over time, so it's crucial to take action in autumn to alleviate these issues.

Skin Spots: What Type of Skin Spot Do You Have?

1. Sunspots:

Dark spots appearing on the face, hands, and décolletage on sun-exposed skin in summer 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, are signs of aging.

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

A regular and effective skincare routine is essential to combat skin spots. 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 two evenings a week. AHA gently exfoliates dead skin cells on the surface, while BHA penetrates pores for deep cleansing. This serum is effective for post-acne marks and sun damage. With regular use, you'll 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 evens out skin tone and reduces the appearance of spots.

Why This Protocol Works?

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