A brightening regime is as essential as using anti-ageing skincare.
Don’t Wait Until You See A Spot
Sun exposure causes pigmentation, or dark spots, to form over time. Once a dark spot forms, it is much harder to tackle. So the idea is to treat dark spots as if they were wrinkles, and address them even before they get a chance to surface.
There’s a range of brightening skincare on the market targeting different aspects of pigmentation.
“Some products help to block pigment formation, some mop up free radicals that contribute to pigment formation, and others prevent the transfer of pigment from cells to the surface of the skin,” explains Dr Joyce Lim, dermatologist at Joyce Lim Skin and Laser Clinic.
It’s Not About Having Fair Skin
That’s another common misconception. Skin experts tell us there is no way to become fairer than the skin tone we’re born with. Dr Low Chai Ling, medical director of The Sloane Clinic, adds that brightening skincare is not about become a couple of shades fairer.
