Due to months of constant UV exposure from our scorching sun, it's impossible to avoid hyperpigmentation in the form of dark spots, scars, freckles, and discoloration that persistently plague the women of our region. The brown specks you find splattered on your face after reposing poolside are the result of sun exposure, which sets skin-darkening melanin into overdrive. Dark spots can show up immediately in the form of freckles, or, years later as a result of long-term sun-damage and can be extremely difficult to treat. Of course, the beauty industry loves a challenge, and has rolled out a new wave of dark-spot correctors, serums, and creams designed to eradicate existing discoloration and reveal a brighter and more even complexion.
