Hot weather can cause skin to become patchy or darker than normal (hyperpigmentation), especially in areas not covered by clothing, such as the hands, feet, and face. So, how do you get rid of patchy skin due to sun exposure?
Here are 8 ways to get rid of patchy skin:
1. Exfoliation
Quoted from HealthLine, exfoliating with a scrub that can be purchased at a cosmetic store helps brighten skin tone by removing dead skin cells on the surface.
However, it is best not to go outside or be exposed to the sun immediately after exfoliation.
This is because the skin is more susceptible to sunburn, which can cause skin irritation.
2. Skin lightening products
Use skin lightening products that contain one of the following ingredients:
Vitamin C
Retinoids such as retinol, tretinoin, adapalene gel, or tazarotene gel. Kojic acid.
Azelaic acid.
Glycolic acid.
These active ingredients can help thin dark spots and encourage the growth of new skin cells.
In addition, it also slows down melanin production to reduce the formation of dark spots.
3. Aloe vera
Aloe vera can suppress the release of melanin and reduce pigmentation. So it helps someone to have their skin color back to normal.
4. Turmeric
Turmeric helps protect the skin from sun damage.
This is because turmeric can increase skin hydration and natural protective oils.
However, be careful in using it because turmeric contains a fairly strong yellow color so that it will actually give a yellow color to the skin.
5. Potatoes
Potatoes contain an enzyme called catecholase which helps brighten the skin.
In addition, you can also do the Skin Lift Advanced Facial at Gaya Spa Wellness which is priced at IDR 650,000.
