Die Haut ist unser größtes Organ und täglich äußeren Einflüssen ausgesetzt. Da kann es schnell passieren, dass sich Verfärbungen bemerkbar machen. Besonders braune Flecken auf der Haut sind ein häufiges Hautproblem, das viele Menschen betrifft. Doch woher kommen sie, wie kann man sie behandeln und was hilft wirklich zur Vorbeugung? Hier erfährst du alles, was du wissen musst, um dein Hautbild zu verbessern und für einen strahlenden, gleichmäßigen Teint zu sorgen.

Brown spots on the skin, also known as hyperpigmentation, are darker discolorations caused by excessive melanin production. Melanin is the pigment that gives our skin its natural color. If it is unevenly distributed or produced in excess, spots appear that stand out visually from the rest of the skin tone. These spots are usually harmless, but can be perceived as unsightly, especially on the face or other visible areas of skin.

Brown spots can appear anywhere on the skin, but some areas are particularly prone to them:

• Face: The cheeks, forehead, and upper lip are particularly susceptible as they are often exposed to the sun.
• Hands: Age spots often appear here, which are exacerbated by UV rays.
• Décolleté: The thin skin in this area is particularly prone to pigmentation disorders.
  Back and shoulders: Brown spots can appear here after exposure to the sun.

There are many factors that contribute to brown spots on the skin. The most common causes include:

• Sun exposure: UV rays stimulate melanin production, causing sun spots and age spots.
• Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, birth control pills, or menopause can affect skin pigmentation. Melasma and similar conditions are often caused by hormonal imbalances and manifest as brownish discoloration of the skin on the face.
• Skin irritation and inflammation: Pimples or minor injuries can leave dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and an uneven skin texture after healing.
• Aging process: Over the years, the skin structure changes and pigmentation disorders become more common.
• Genetic predisposition: Some people are naturally more prone to pigmentation spots than others.

The good news: there are numerous methods for lightening dark spots or even getting rid of them completely. Here are six proven methods recommended by dermatologists:

• Sun protection: Use daily UV protection with at least SPF 30. This prevents new pigment spots and protects the skin.
• Exfoliants: Regular chemical peels with AHA or BHA remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal.
• Lightening serums: Products containing vitamin C, niacinamide, or tranexamic acid help to lighten pigment spots in a targeted manner.
• Dermatological treatments: Laser therapy or microdermabrasion are effective methods for removing stubborn spots.
• Natural active ingredients: Ingredients such as licorice root extract or kojic acid have a gentle brightening effect.
• Moisturizing care: Moisturizing creams. Well-cared-for, hydrated skin regenerates faster and looks fresher.
