Many people notice that their skin appears more uneven once summer comes to an end. Increased UV exposure, heat, and time spent outdoors can stimulate melanin production, causing existing sun spots and areas of pigmentation to become more noticeable.
The Impact of Summer Sun Exposure
Even with regular sunscreen use, the skin can accumulate UV damage over time. This damage may not be immediately visible but can surface as uneven skin tone, dark patches, and sun spots in the months following summer. Melbourne’s strong UV levels mean that even short periods outdoors can contribute to these changes.
Why Dark Spots Can Reappear
While professional skin treatments can significantly improve skin clarity, ongoing sun exposure can trigger melanin production again. Hormonal fluctuations, inflammation, and inadequate sun protection can also contribute to the return of discoloration.
How to Maintain Clearer Skin
Consistent daily sun protection is essential throughout the year. Wearing a broad-spectrum SPF, reapplying regularly, and incorporating professional skin treatments when recommended can help maintain a more even complexion. A personalised skincare routine can also support long-term results.
