Hello Doctor,
What preventive measures can be taken to avoid freckles, dark patches, or age spots on the face? Are there any specific skincare treatments available?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Sunscreen: Use SPF 50 sunscreen daily and reapply every three hours for optimal protection.
Protective Clothing: Wear hats, sunglasses, and clothing that covers your skin when in the sun.
Time of Exposure: Limit sun exposure during peak hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
Antioxidant-Rich Diet: Consume foods high in antioxidants, like vitamins C and E.
Hydration: Keep your skin well-hydrated for natural repair and protection.
Topical Treatments: Consider skincare products with retinoids, vitamin C, and niacinamide to address existing spots and prevent new ones.
Exfoliation: Gently exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells but avoid overdoing it.
Thanks
