Why daily SPF matters for dark spots

The simplest step that keeps pigment from coming back.

Sun keeps pigment active

UV and visible light both switch on melanin production. Even a short walk at midday is enough to darken spots you have been working to fade, whatever your skin tone.

What to look for

Choose broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Tinted formulas with iron oxides add protection against visible light, which matters most for melasma and deeper skin tones.

Make it a habit

Apply it as the last step of your morning routine and reapply when you are outdoors for long stretches. A texture you enjoy wearing is the one you will actually use every day.
