How to avoid brown spots in the sun?
The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) rays that stimulate melanin synthesis. But when produced in large quantities, it’s this pigment that causes the hyperpigmentation phenomenon, in other words uneven skin pigmentation. The sun increases and maintains brown spots. In addition, the sun can make some brown spot treatments less effective, by increasing the risk of recurrence.
