Who hasn’t cried in front of the mirror when they noticed a new spot or a more pronounced wrinkle?
It’s a familiar scene for many women. The culprits? The usual suspects: of course, the passing of time, but also our hectic lifestyles, stress, a sometimes unbalanced diet, and, above all, our worst enemy: the sun.

Exposure to ultraviolet rays weakens the skin from the inside out, accelerating the loss of collagen and elasticity. The result? The skin thins, loses its firmness, and pigmentation disorders, such as the infamous dark spots, appear. Fortunately, it’s never too late to take care of your skin and restore its natural radiance, completely naturally.

Why do these spots appear?
The spots that appear on the hands with age are often called age spots or age spots. Their real name is solar lentigo . The main cause is prolonged and repeated exposure to the sun. It’s as if the skin “records” every absorbed ultraviolet ray… and it eventually becomes visible.

Here’s what happens: Dark spots form when the production of melanin (the skin’s natural pigment) becomes irregular. The sun stimulates melanin, but over time, it concentrates in certain areas, forming flat brown spots of varying sizes. They most often appear on the hands, an area we often forget to protect, despite daily sun exposure.

Natural aging also plays a role: the skin becomes thinner, more sensitive, and less able to repair itself. These spots are usually benign, but if you notice changes in shape, color, or texture, it’s advisable to consult a doctor.

The good news? There are ways to reduce their frequency, as well as simple prevention habits.
