Pigmentation and dark spots are a common concern, especially with Oman's strong sun. The good news: a consistent routine helps improve the look of spots and even out skin tone over time.
☀️ Why pigmentation appears
Sun
The biggest factor. UV rays make spots more visible and darker.
Post-blemish marks
Marks left after breakouts, especially when picked.
Hormonal changes
Such as pregnancy, often showing on cheeks and forehead.
Heat and friction
Such as underarms and knees.
🧴 Step by step
Morning: vitamin C
A vitamin C serum supports radiance and helps protect against daily stressors.
Morning: SPF50 sunscreen
The most important step. Without it, nothing else makes a difference. Reapply every two hours in the sun.
Evening: niacinamide
Helps even out the look of skin tone and is gentle on most skin.
Evening: spot cream
Spot creams with ingredients like kojic acid or niacinamide, applied to areas with spots.
💡 Tips
✓ Be patient: results usually take 6 to 12 weeks of regular use.
✓ Don't combine strong exfoliants with spot products on the same night.
✓ Patch-test any new product first.
✓ If spots are widespread or change quickly, see a dermatologist.
