Dark Spots After Summer: Why They Appear and How to Prevent Them
Dark spots on your cheekbones, forehead and upper lip can show up even without a sunburn. Why they form after summer, and why the best prevention is SPF every day, with Defence Me SPF 30.
After summer, many people notice dark spots on their face, caused by too much or irregular melanin production triggered by sun exposure. Spots can form even without a visible sunburn, and they tend to show up on the cheekbones, forehead and upper lip. Prevention is key: wearing sun protection every day, in the city too and in the cooler seasons, is the most effective way to fight uneven tone and skin aging. Our pick is Defence Me SPF 30, an anti-aging face cream with UVA/UVB protection, a light texture and tone-evening, hydrating properties, made for daily use, even under makeup.
Dark spots after summer? Why they appear and how to prevent them
Coming back from vacation with golden skin… and a few more dark spots. It happens to a lot of us, and it's not just about “sunburn.” The sun can disrupt melanin production even without visible redness, which leads to uneven tone.
Why do dark spots appear?
In the sun, your skin defends itself by making more melanin.
But when that process goes off track (because of photoaging, hormonal imbalances or unprotected exposure), darker spots can appear, often on the cheekbones, forehead and upper lip.
And it doesn't end with summer: even daylight in the city can make them worse if you don't protect your skin consistently.
The most effective strategy: daily prevention
Wearing a face sunscreen every day, in spring and in the city too, is the most powerful thing you can do to protect your skin long-term.
Even better if it combines sun protection, hydration and anti-aging care.
In short
✔️ Prevent dark spots before you can even see them
✔️ Sun protection is the first anti-aging step
✔️ Don't wait for summer to protect your skin
