Bright, even skin is the dream of many women, but they often find themselves battling skin blemishes. In these cases, anti-blemish face creams become valuable allies in the fight against hyperpigmentation, offering targeted solutions to lighten facial blemishes and achieve a bright, even complexion. In this article, you will discover the key ingredients to check for in anti-blemish cosmetics and our skincare tips for facial blemishes.

How do skin spots develop?
Facial skin spots can develop due to various factors and their origin can vary depending on different conditions. Some of the main causes of this blemish are:
▪️ Sun Exposure : Prolonged exposure to the sun without adequate protection can lead to hyperpigmentation due to an increase in melanin production.
▪️ Skin Aging : As the years go by, the skin can develop age spots, due to the loss of elasticity and the decrease in collagen production.
▪️ Skin Inflammation : Inflammation of the skin following acne or other skin disorders can lead to uneven pigmentation and blemishes after healing.
▪️ Hormones : Hormonal changes, such as those during pregnancy or menopause, can cause melasma, a condition characterized by dark spots usually on the face.
▪️ Medicines : some medicines can increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, causing photo-induced reactions and the appearance of spots.
Facial spots in menopause
Menopause is a stage in life that brings about several hormonal changes in women, and these can affect the health of the skin, including the appearance of dark spots on the face .
The main causes of facial spots during menopause are:
▪️ decline in estrogen: hormones that play a key role in regulating melanin (the pigment responsible for skin color) leading to an irregularity in the distribution of melanin, causing dark spots or hyperpigmentation.
▪️ Cumulative sun exposure: During menopause, your skin may react more sensitively to damage caused by UV rays.
▪️ Skin aging: Menopause leads to a decrease in collagen and elastin production, affecting skin texture and the appearance of blemishes.
Choosing a skincare program for menopausal skin that includes anti-blemish cosmetics for the face and moisturizers will help improve skin tone and lighten skin blemishes.
Facial blemishes during pregnancy
Pregnancy is a time of profound changes in a woman's body, and the skin is not immune to these. The skin does not always become beautiful and radiant: among the common challenges faced during pregnancy, the appearance of skin blemishes is one of the most frequent aesthetic concerns.
The main causes of facial spots during pregnancy are attributable to hormonal changes, especially an increase in estrogen and progesterone. These hormonal changes can stimulate the production of melanin, leading to the appearance of dark spots especially on the forehead, cheeks and upper lip.
Pregnancy is also a very delicate period and it is therefore important to take care of your skincare during pregnancy by choosing products that are delicate on the skin and with top quality ingredients. All our Luce di Sorrento products are also designed for pregnant women to allow them to live this exciting period with serenity and joy.
It is important to say that some facial blemishes may resolve spontaneously after childbirth.
Sunspots on the face
Sunspots on the face are often the result of prolonged exposure to the sun without adequate protection. These spots, which can vary in size and color, are generally harmless, but they can affect the aesthetic appearance of the skin.
It is important to prevent the appearance of this type of spots by always using sunscreen throughout the year and using hydrating cosmetics that can strengthen the skin barrier.
Consistency in your proper skincare routine and sun protection are essential to maintaining healthy skin and an even, glowing complexion.
Tips to avoid the appearance of facial blemishes
But how can you avoid the appearance of new facial blemishes and improve existing ones? By paying attention to your skin care by choosing a skincare with anti-blemish cosmetics for the face to even out and illuminate the complexion and always using sunscreen.
Furthermore, stress and skin are closely linked ; therefore, it is important to find ways to reduce anxiety to also improve the appearance of the skin. One of our recommendations is the use of neurocosmetics because they are able to contribute both to improving the psychological aspect and to taking care of one's skin, what today is called Psycare .
