What Are Sun Spots and What Can I Do About Them?
Sunspots are a common skin concern that often appear over time in areas frequently exposed to sunlight. Many people look for ways to minimize their appearance for a more even complexion. At Epicuren Discovery, we offer many skincare options to support your skin goals. When it comes to maintaining healthy-looking skin, sun spots are more than just a cosmetic concern. These dark spots often appear after years of sun exposure and are the result of damaged skin cells, and in some cases, they can be precancerous lesions, which increase the risk of skin cancer if left unchecked. That’s why paying attention to skin changes, getting annual skin checks by a dermatologist, and building a consistent skincare routine that includes daily SPF and brightening ingredients is key to minimizing unwanted skin discoloration. Understanding Sun Spots Sun spots, also known as age spots and liver spots, are flat, round spots, unlike freckles, that develop on areas such as the face, chest, shoulders, and hands. They are typically tan to dark brown in color and appear more often in individuals who spend extended time in the sun. These spots may increase in number or visibility with age, especially without consistent sun care. Causes of Age Spots Sun exposure is the most common contributor to the appearance of sun spots. Ultraviolet rays from the sun can influence how melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color, appears in certain areas. Over time, an overproduction of melanin in specific regions leads to visible patches on the skin’s surface. What Do Sun Spots Look Like? Active regions with sun spots are usually small, flat, and darker than the surrounding skin. They may be scattered or appear in clusters and tend to develop in areas that have frequent sun exposure. While they vary in size and shade, they generally have a uniform appearance and do not cause physical discomfort. Another type of melanin dysregulation that looks like sun spots is called melasma. Melasma is often the result of hormonal changes, pregnancy, and birth control. They are generally larger patches of dark spots and can be triggered by heat and the sun. These spots are harder to address since they often start in the deeper layers of the skin and are likely to recur. Discoloration that is raised and is rough in texture may be actinic keratosis. This is a condition that is caused by sun exposure and may develop into skin cancer. Keep in mind, any changes in your skin should be reported to your doctor for an accurate diagnosis. Ways to Lessen the Appearance of Sun Spots Topical Brightening Products Products formulated to improve the appearance of uneven tone can help minimize the appearance of sun spots over time. These may include ingredients such as vitamin C, niacinamide, or licorice root extract, which are commonly used to support the appearance of brightness and more uniform skin tone. Sun Protection Limiting sun exposure is key to maintaining the appearance of your skin. Daily application of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher can help keep existing sun spots from becoming more visible and may reduce the chances of new ones forming. Reapplying sunscreen throughout the day, especially outdoors, is essential for optimal sun care. Our Skin Brightening Products If you are looking to support your skin with products that align with your cosmetic goals, explore these high-quality options available through Epicuren: Skin Brightening Serum Skin Brightening Serum is designed to enhance the look of skin tone clarity and refine overall radiance with consistent use.

Frequently Asked Questions Are sun spots dangerous? In most cases, sun spots are cosmetic in nature and not a cause for concern. However, if a spot changes in shape, size, or color, it is always a good idea to consult a licensed skincare provider or dermatologist. Can sun spots appear on my hands? Due to their frequent exposure to sunlight, the hands are a common area for sun spots. Wearing SPF on your hands can help protect your skin from most sun exposure and maintain their appearance and support a more even tone. How often should I reapply sunscreen? Sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours when outdoors, or more often if swimming or sweating. Keeping a travel-size bottle on hand can make reapplication easy and consistent. Does age affect the appearance of sun spots? As you age, you can develop age spots and sun spots, and sun damage becomes more noticeable. As the skin’s appearance evolves, supporting it with high-quality skincare and regular sun care can make a visible difference.
