Tips and Tricks to avoid getting Dark Skin#
Dark Skin or Complexion could be cause by:
- Hyperpigmentation - Skin produces too much pigment melanin which causes the skin to become darker
- Skin Disorders - Skin disorder such as Lichen Simplex Chronicus causes severe itching that leaves skin thick, dark and patchy.
- Sun Rays - Over exposure to sun causes skin to tan. To protect itself from the harmful UV rays of the sun, the skin produces more pigment melanin which shields the penetration of UV rays into the skin.
Every Little Thing Counts:
- Use sunscreen lotion with SPF factor of at least 30 which offers protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
- Bring an umbrella along whenever you go out. Look for an umbrella with a reflective surface for better effect!
- Exercise! It will help your skin by increasing blood flow and unclogging your pores.
- Avoid the sun when it's at its peak between 10 am to 2 pm.
- Cloudy weather does not mean you are safe from UVB rays as it can still burn your skin.
- Apply sunscreen at least 15 to 20 minutes before heading out.
