It\u2019s typically referred to as the darkening of certain parts of the face, often across the bridge of the nose, cheeks, and forehead. The cause of hyperpigmentation is an excess of melanin, the brown pigment that produces our normal skin colour, which forms deposits in the skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Avoid Hyperpigmentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s inevitable that our skin will age over time. Fine lines, wrinkles, discolouration, hyperpigmentation, and dark spots are all visible signs that this process is occurring. But the rate at which they develop can be affected by our lifestyle, health, genetics, and sun exposure. There is much we can do to correct and prevent signs of ageing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hyperpigmentation, a particularly frustrating skin condition, is usually related to photodamage but can also be caused by hormonal changes and genetics. UVA and UVB rays damage the DNA in skin cells, causing mutations and loss of elastin, collagen and firmness. The big problem is that so many of us forgo sun protection during our twenties and thirties, only to regret it later on in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most important things to have in your armoury against sun damage is SPF. Wearing it daily protects your skin from harmful UV rays that cause sunburn, sunspots, wrinkles, sagginess, leathery skin, dullness, uneven and hyperpigmentation, and in the worst scenario, skin cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obagi<strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> takes skin protection extremely seriously. So much so, that the luxury skincare brand has raised the bar with its clinically-proven, cutting-edge SPF formulations that can be used daily underneath make-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/en\/product\/obagi-sun-shield-matte-spf50\/\">Obagi Sun Shield Matte\u2122 Broad Spectrum SPF50<\/a> is suitable for all skin types and an especially good choice for those with oily skin or who prefer to have a matt complexion. This daily SPF offers broad spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays and can be used with all Obagi<strong><sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> Systems.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pure_Obagi__0000s_0012_Obagi_Sun_Shield_Matte_Bottle.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pure_Obagi__0000s_0012_Obagi_Sun_Shield_Matte_Bottle.jpg\" alt=\"obagi sun shield mate broad spectrum spf 50\" class=\"wp-image-8757\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pure_Obagi__0000s_0012_Obagi_Sun_Shield_Matte_Bottle.jpg 493w, https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pure_Obagi__0000s_0012_Obagi_Sun_Shield_Matte_Bottle-324x324.jpg 324w, https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pure_Obagi__0000s_0012_Obagi_Sun_Shield_Matte_Bottle-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pure_Obagi__0000s_0012_Obagi_Sun_Shield_Matte_Bottle-416x416.jpg 416w, https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pure_Obagi__0000s_0012_Obagi_Sun_Shield_Matte_Bottle-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Pure_Obagi__0000s_0012_Obagi_Sun_Shield_Matte_Bottle-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-03627597 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/pureobagi.com\/en\/product\/obagi-sun-shield-matte-spf50\/\">BUY OBAGI SUN SHIELD MATTE\u2122 BROAD SPECTRUM SPF50<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A trio of highly effective ingredients offer unrivalled skin protection.
