New Tanit depigmenting stick
During the summer, as we spend more time outdoors and relax our habits, our skin can easily be subjected to excessive sun exposure. With the advent of autumn, as we resume our everyday habits and our tan fades, we become aware of the traces that the holidays have left on our complexion: sunspots. Now is the perfect time to deal with them, as the sun loses its strength while the skin does not yet have to brace itself against colder winter temperatures.
The skin remembers, in that it shows the cumulative damage caused by solar radiation. As its capacity is exhausted, the first signs of photo-ageing become apparent, with deeper wrinkles and pigmentation spots. These predominantly affect women and rank among the most recurrent aesthetic preoccupations in dermatology appointments.
Why do pigmentation spots appear?
The skin protects itself from sun exposure by producing melanin, a pigment which helps filter out ultraviolet radiation. After excessive sun exposure and as we age, melanin becomes unevenly distributed, causing spots . The most familiar include freckles, moles, lentigines and melasma. This kind of issue is certainly very common. As an example: according to the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV) lentigines are observed in up to 90% of Caucasians over the age of 60 years.
Melanoma, which consists of irregular and asymmetrical dark spots whose colour varies from light brown to black, deserves a special mention. Melanoma can either appear suddenly or develop from a mole. In this case, we could be talking about skin cancer, and the advice of a dermatologist should be sought without delay.

For best results:
* Remember that sunscreen should also be used in winter and on cloudy days. Protecting your skin from UVB and UVA radiation is the best prevention against pigmentation spots and other signs of ageing.
* Always select a good skin-lightening product with proven effectiveness. Carmen Romero Carranza, dermatologist at the AEDV reminds us that "there are no clinical studies or scientific evidence that prove the effectiveness of home remedies like rice water or lemon juice. Therefore, and from a medical perspective, these would no be appropriate".
* Be consistent with your treatment. Read the specific indications for each product, how many times it should be applied, whether it should be used during the day and/or at night, and follow them rigorously.
