A good skincare regime can enhance your natural skin and leave you looking fresh and flawless. Dark spots on the face can be stubborn and make you feel like they will never go away. But they are the result of hyperpigmentation, which is a common skin condition that occurs when the skin produces too much melanin.
There are many causes as to why you may be suffering from dark spots such as, UV light, which radiates from the sun, can cause damage to your skin and even premature ageing of the complexion, often leading to hyperpigmentation. It can also be due to scarring, ageing, and more.
Dark spots are fairly easy to fix, when you use the Obagi Nu-Derm FX® System, resulting in fresh and clear skin.
Obagi Nu-Derm® Clear Fx works to fade dark spots and give you a brighter, more even skin tone and when used along with the Nu-Derm Fx® System, the results will be more effective and rewarding for your skin.
How Can I Reduce The Appearance of Dark Spots?
Dark spots are caused by the production of melanin in the skin. Obagi Nu-Derm® Clear Fx contains 7% Arbutin, which is a skin-brightening extract that prevents the production of melanin in the skin, which helps to fade these pesky dark spots and give you a brighter, more even skin tone.
This Arbutin-based, skin-brightening cream works in a gentle formula to minimise imperfections and pigmentation caused by spots, outbreaks and sun damage. Extracted from Bearberry plants, Arbutin (7%) used in Obagi Nu-Derm® Clear Fx prevents the production of tyrosinase – the enzyme in the skin responsible for melanin production that leads to dark spots, also known as sunspots.
To prevent extra damage, use SPF. Failure to wear sunscreen on a daily basis is one of the most common causes of dark spots and discolouration. Long-term, unprotected UV exposure is a huge skincare mistake both for aesthetic reasons and for health reasons, such as preventing skin cancer.
Protecting your skin from the sun on a daily basis can also help to prevent premature-ageing and minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Even if it’s cloudy, use the Obagi Sun Shield Matte™ Broad Spectrum SPF 50 every day to protect yourself.
