The reason many women choose to forego full makeup during the summer lies somewhere between the high humidity levels and soaring temperatures. However, you’ll still require a flawless complexion to pull off the au naturel look. Therefore, discoloration in the form of dark spots—the result of aging, acne, and environmental stressors—can pose a problem.
Arab women are prone to hyperpigmentation due to the increased production of melaninin their skin, which occurs a result of overexposure to UV rays. However, it’s not all doom and gloom: dark spots can be treated. In fact, there’s a market brimming with brightening products designed to reverse blemishes and minimize hyperpigmentation.
The Lancôme DreamTone Ultimate Dark Spot Corrector uses a gentle acid to inhibit melanin production, which in turn evens out skin tone, and reduces the appearance of dark spots. Meanwhile, the Clarins White Plus Translucency Tri-Intensive Brightening Serum boasts a whitening plant extract to undo the damage caused by hyperpigmentation. Patented with advanced brightening technology, the Shisiedo White Lucent MicroTargeting Spot Corrector is a serum that eradicates stubborn spots for visibly clearer skin.
