Natural solutions to reduce pigment spots on the face

Pigment spots , also called brown spots, affect about 80% of women, regardless of their skin type and age.

A pigment spot generally forms on the face, neck, décolleté and hands.

Most often this phenomenon of hyperpigmentation is completely benign but for aesthetic reasons many of us want to see them disappear.

Thanks to food supplements, it is possible to prevent and naturally reduce these pigment spots and regain a uniform and radiant complexion!

A. Brown spot on face

Digital spots are the consequence of hyperpigmentation characterized by uneven pigmentation of the skin. It is a common skin condition caused by an overproduction of melanin by our cells, called melanocytes.

Melanin is the natural pigment that colors our skin, hair and body hair. It plays a role as a natural sunscreen that protects our skin from harmful UV rays. Brown age spots are more common on fair skin and are generally located on the areas most exposed to the sun: the face, décolleté, and the back of the hands.

B. Age spot on face

The mechanism of melanogenesis (synthesis of melanin) is based on a succession of biochemical reactions. Melanin is produced from an amino acid: tyrosine. Tyrosine and its by-products are oxidized by different enzymes including tyrosinase which controls the first steps of the mechanism. Melanin accumulates within cells up to the surface of the epidermis.

The greater this activity, the greater the quantity of melanin produced and the darker the skin. Many factors can lead to an increase in the amount of melanin produced by the skin.

C. Face pigmentation spots

Hyperpigmentation is a physiological mechanism that can occur due to different factors.

Depending on its phenotype, that is to say the skin tone and its color, brown spots can be more or less dark.

For example, black, dark and mixed skin is naturally more pigmented and more concentrated in melanin than white Caucasian or Asian skin, pigment spots tend to be darker and take longer to fade. What are the factors causing brown spots?

A. Overexposure to the sun

In the event of too much exposure to the sun, melanocytes produce melanin in an anarchic manner. It accumulates in the form of small localized clusters and causes the appearance of brown spots, particularly on fair skin on the face, neckline and hands.

B. Acne and irritant dermatitis of the skin

Following local inflammation of the skin such as an acne spot, an eczema plaque or psoriasis, excessive production of melanin can occur during healing.

Dark pigmentation spots called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can then appear on the skin. These pigment spots generally fade over time but are more frequent, more visible and take longer to disappear on dark and black skin, which is very rich in melanin. If the pimple has been triturated, scratched or pressed, the stain may be more marked, larger and take longer to disappear.

C. Minor injuries, cuts, burns

During the healing process of a wound, melanin production naturally increases. The regenerated skin cells are darker and temporarily discolor.

D. Aesthetic procedures (chemical peeling, dermabrasion, laser treatment)

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and spots can occur after aggressive cosmetic skin procedures and during the healing process.

E. Skin aging

With age, the number of melanin-producing melanocytes decreases, but the size of the remaining cells increases. This involves uneven pigmentation of the skin.

This natural physiological phenomenon accelerates around the age of 40, hence the increase in the number of age spots.

F. Hormonal variations

Female hormones, including estrogen and progesterone, cause overproduction of melanin, particularly when the skin is exposed to the sun.

Hormonal variations upset the hormonal balance and the skin's ability to regenerate.

In pregnant women, it is common to notice the appearance of areas of hyperpigmentation on the face, known as melasma or “mask of pregnancy”. Outside of pregnancy, hyperpigmentation can also occur in women taking hormonal contraceptives, but also during menopause.

To remove pigment spots on the face, it is essential to combine a suitable skincare routine with targeted food supplements. D-LAB NUTRICOSMETICS products, such as the Luminous Skin Complex and the Soothed Skin Complex, offer a natural and effective solution to reduce dark spots and even out skin tone.

A. Remove dark spots on face naturally

Remember that you should never try to whiten a stain or your skin but only lighten it and even out the complexion. Indeed, prolonged use of depigmenting and whitening treatments causes significant damage that is difficult to treat, such as brown spots, white spots and uneven skin tone.

Even when pigmentation spots are established, it is possible to fade them effectively naturally thanks to food supplements.

Composed of vitamins, minerals, trace elements and plant extracts, food supplements act directly at the heart of cells to slow down the hyperpigmentation process that causes brown spots. Thanks to targeted active ingredients, they help reduce spots and lighten the complexion naturally.

At D-LAB, we have developed food supplements that target the main causes of facial pigment spots: skin inflammation, melanogenesis and oxidative stress. 

B. Supplements to remove facial spots

• TheLuminous Skin Complex contains 7 natural and innovative active ingredients, which even out and awaken the complexion, protect tissues from skin aging and reduce brown spots.

• Pro-Collagen Anti-Spots which combines a patented complex of very powerful antioxidants to prevent and reduce pigment spots on the face, as well as collagen oligopeptides for firming the skin and reducing dark spots. wrinkles.

• Active Sun Complex with its pomegranate extract titrated in punicalagins at 30% to prepare and enhance the tan by protecting the skin from sun damage.

C. Best anti-blemish face ingredients

A soothing and anti-inflammatory action to calm inflammation, often the cause of the first pigment spots on the face. 

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a type of skin hyperpigmentation that is primarily triggered by the way the skin regenerates after inflammation when an area of ​​the skin is weakened and damaged.

The Soothed Skin Complex contains highly dosed, bioavailable active ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties.

• Roman chamomile flower extract, 4 times more concentrated in active ingredients than the dry plant, reduces redness and soothes itching sensations.

Anti-blemish face product

An action on melanogenesis, the mechanism responsible for skin pigmentation.

It is possible to reduce the appearance of facial pigment spots by controlling melanogenesis, the mechanism responsible for the production of melanin which causes hyperpigmentation.

The Luminous Skin Complex contains an innovative concentrate of OPC from Landes maritime pine, an active ingredient certified by numerous clinical studies for its action on the radiance and uniformity of the complexion and its antioxidant properties. Studies carried out in recent years indicate that OPCs (Oligo-ProCyanides) are capable of inhibiting inflammatory reactions and pigmentary disorders.

An action on microcirculation to promote oxygenation and the elimination of toxins.

To ensure the best possible nutrition for the skin, it is essential to stimulate skin microcirculation. Improving circulation also allows for better assimilation of active ingredients, particularly those which regulate melanogenesis.

Excessive exposure to UV rays can cause premature tissue aging . Indeed, oxidative stress can result from the harmful effects of the sun. Thus, weakened cells can cause the formation of new pigment spots or the intensification of existing pigment spots. Thus, D-LAB has selected active ingredients with high antioxidant potential.

The Luminous Skin Complex and the Active Sun Complex contain a pomegranate extract titrated at 30% in punicalagins and 47% in polyphenols, two families of powerful antioxidants. This patented active ingredient protects the skin from skin aging.

In vitro tests have proven the effectiveness of our ingredient in protecting the skin against UV rays. Our pomegranate extract has demonstrated:

• Protection of fabrics against oxidative damage caused by UVB¹

• Increased production of pro-collagen and hyaluronic acid¹

• The regeneration of oxidized cells after exposure to UVB²

Dark spots on the face can be a source of aesthetic concern for many. They often result from hyperpigmentation, a process where melanin production becomes excessive due to various factors. 

Melanin, responsible for skin color, can build up unevenly and form darker spots.
