Your Post-Summer Skin RehabYour how-to on treating discoloration, breakouts and your last (hopefully!) sunburn of the summer |
Skin Complaint: Sunspots and Freckles Too much frolicking in the sun without SPF can lead to hyperpigmentation in the form of sunspots and freckles.
The Fix: "Although there are over-the-counter products that can be used, the most effective are prescription agents," Waldorf says. "I prescribe topical retinoids and hydroquinone," she adds.
If heading to your derm for a prescription isn't an option, try these beauty elixirs to fade age spots and freckles: Kate Somerville Mega C Dual Radiance Serum, $90, which contains skin brightening ingredients like vitamin C. You can also opt for a retinol, which increases cell turnover to speed up the lightening process, like Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Ferulic Acid + Retinol Brightening Solution, $125.
