Reader,
Why your dark spots keep coming back
You faded your dark spots, and a few months later they're back. That isn't bad luck. It's biology.
Here's what's happening:
- UV wakes the pigment cells back up. Even a little unprotected sun restarts the process.
- Spots fade slowly. Skin turns over about every 28 days, and deeper pigment takes months.
- Irritation makes it worse. Harsh scrubs and over-exfoliating can create new dark marks.
What to do this fall:
- SPF 30 or higher every morning, rain or shine.
- A gentle routine, not an aggressive one.
- Treatments planned around your skin type, not guessed.
Cooler months are a smart time to start, because you're getting less sun exposure.
With love and real results,
Donna Kay
