As we don’t often get a lot of warm sun in the UK, on the odd occasions when the sun does rear its head, it can be far too easy get a little over-excited and head outdoors without adequately protecting skin.

Although you have probably heard it time and time again, it really is vital that you apply sun block in order to guard your skin against the sun’s damaging rays. Failure to do so can have a number of negative effects- many of which can be very long-lasting.

One side effect of sun exposure which many people aren’t actually aware of is skin pigmentation. It’s thought that one key reason why many aren’t aware of the fact that skin pigmentation can be caused by the sun is because it can take years for effects to show.

Skin pigmentation which occurs as the result of excessive sun exposure can take years to develop- by which time, the tan which seemed so important all that time ago has long disappeared.

Luckily, dealing with skin discolouration doesn’t have to involve a trip to the cosmetic surgeon, as there are some great products available nowadays which can be used in the comfort of your own home. Dermalogica Extreme C is one such product.

In addition to helping to improve the look of discolouration and giving skin a new lease of life, Dermalogica Extreme C can also help to prevent any future damage. Extreme C works equally well when used on small or larger areas of the face and neck and can be used alone or with moisturiser.

Most of us enjoy a bit of sunbathing, although it can be all too easy to get a little addicted to basking in the sun’s glorious rays- which is never good for the state of the skin. Apart from the obvious health problems that sun exposure can cause i.e. skin cancer, you could also run the risk of causing skin pigmentation.

In today’s society, many people associate a ‘healthy glow’ with attractiveness, and whilst a tan may make you look and feel fantastic in the short term, skin pigmentation is just one of its long lasting effects- which could end up having the opposite effect on your confidence.

Generally, skin pigmentation takes its time to show, and although your days of tanning may have long gone, you could find yourself greeted with skin pigmentation in years to come.

Skin pigmentation caused by sun damage can appear as small spots or larger areas of discolouration, which are generally a tan/ brown colour, and can be very visible- particularly on lighter skin.

If you enjoyed the sun a little too much in the past, and have now been graced with skin pigmentation, Dermalogica have a great line of products which are designed to tackle the condition.

Dermalogica C-12 Concentrate is amazing for tackling pigmentation on smaller areas such as the face, and in addition to treating discoloured skin, it also intensely hydrates and conditions- giving your skin some long-awaited TLC.
