If you have spotty skin…
Spotty Skin Care: Step by Step Guide
Identify the cause, protect from the sun, establish a gentle routine, and proceed with patience: visible results in 3–6 months.
1) Consulting a Dermatologist (Most Important Step!)
- Spots may be caused by sun damage, acne scars, hormones (melasma), aging, freckles, or different conditions.
- A correct diagnosis and personalized treatment require expert consultation.
2) Sun Protection (Prevention > Treatment)
- High SPF sunscreen: Every day, 15–20 minutes before going out.
- Use shade, hats, and sunglasses between 10:00–16:00.
- Oil-based formulas may last longer against sweat/water.
3) Gentle and Balanced Skincare Routine
- Cleansing: Gentle cleanser at night.
- Moisturizing: Regular daily moisturizer to keep the barrier strong.
4) Anti-Spot Active Ingredients
Niacinamide (B3)
Helps reduce the appearance of spots; improves pore and sebum balance.
Vitamin C
Powerful antioxidant; supports tone evening and protection against photo-damage.
Azelaic Acid
Effective in acne-related spots and melasma; anti-inflammatory.
Chemical Peeling
Gently removes dead skin; excessive use may cause irritation. 1–2 times a week is ideal.
Points to Consider
Important
Do not start all actives at once. Especially retinoids and AHAs together may irritate. Introduce ingredients one by one, gradually.
5) Lifestyle Support
- Antioxidant-rich diet; adequate water intake.
- Clean makeup brushes regularly; pay attention to product hygiene.
- Avoid friction; do not rub harshly with towels, do not squeeze pimples.
Summary Flow
- See a dermatologist first: Identify the cause.
- Daily sun protection: Non-negotiable.
- Gentle routine + targeted actives.
- If necessary, professional treatments (peeling, laser).
- Patience: Consistent application for 3–6 months.
