Pigment
In my younger years , I would be super excited for all the fall beauty launches with rich colors to play with and enjoy . But to me the end of summer now means time to address the pigment that I ’ ve accumulated all summer . Pigment — whether age spots , melasma or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — can age us just as much as wrinkles and sagging . Take a look in the mirror at the difference between the two sides of your face as evidence — passive sun exposure from driving a car shows up as pigment on the left sides of our faces .
Here are my favorite weapons to fight the pigment battle along with some other standouts that I ’ m currently crushing on .
VITAMIN C No matter your age , we all should incorporate a quality vitamin C product in our routines — in addition to brightening the skin and fighting free radical damage , vitamin C makes your sunscreen more effective . In a clinical study of L-ascorbic acid ( another name for vitamin C ) applied topically , skin was less prone to sun damage .
