Those first few days of sunny weather might be great news for your social calendar but not so much for your skin, especially if uneven pigmentation, dark spots, melasma or dry skin are already a concern. Hyper-pigmentation and skin dryness worsen during the summer months.
Sun exposure triggers the production of skin pigment, melanin. Along with that, excessive heat triggers skin dryness and inflammation. Therefore, your sunscreen may not be able to protect you fully and you need a moisturizer as well.
How to manage?
Taking these simple steps can really help you go a long way in managing your skin pigmentation this summer.
