More detailsDark spots on the face are caused by “depigmentation,” which is the loss of melanocytes—the cells responsible for skin color (pigmentation).
Skin color is determined by a person’s skin type and sun exposure; areas regularly exposed to the sun are darker than those with less exposure. The natural pigment that determines skin color is melanin, which the body produces to protect the skin from UV radiation—a process that results in tanning.
Pigmentation problems are linked to a dysfunction of melanin, which generally causes hyperpigmentation (dark spots) or, conversely, depigmentation of the skin (lighter spots).
In the latter case, it is often a medical condition, such as vitiligo or albinism, which requires medical treatment from a dermatologist.
Brown spots are also called age spots—although they are not specifically related to age—or sunspots. These are small, pigmented spots on the skin of varying sizes that appear on parts of the body most frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, shoulders, or arms. They are caused by excessive melanin production, which leads to depigmentation.
These brown spots generally appear in adults over the age of 40, following several years of sun exposure. However, they can sometimes also be seen in younger people due to intense or prolonged sun exposure without adequate protection.
In general, they are not harmful to our health. Even though they are benign, it’s still important to be vigilant, as melanoma can sometimes resemble a lentigo, and only a dermatologist is qualified to distinguish between the two. They do not require treatment, but for cosmetic reasons, it is possible to make them less visible. To minimize the appearance of these signs of aging and restore a more even complexion, incorporating targeted anti-aging skincare products can be very effective.
Brown spots should not be confused with moles, which develop all over the body. Brown spots are primarily caused by repeated exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. After years of exposure, melanin can accumulate in certain areas of the skin, causing increased pigmentation. Brown spots then appear permanently, most commonly in people over the age of 40.

The passage of time, sun exposure, and unhealthy habits of all kinds can cause irregularities in skin pigmentation. Sometimes these are simply small dark spots, but in other cases, they may be light spots. In such cases, the skin is experiencing a depigmentation issue. Is your skin photosensitive and prone to reacting by developing brown spots or uneven pigmentation? Discover a wide selection of products specially designed to tackle these pigmentation issues. Various formulas are available.
As we age, the functioning of melanocytes (the cells responsible for producing melanin) becomes irregular. This leads to an overproduction of melanin in certain areas, forming pigmented spots. This phenomenon is exacerbated by environmental factors, such as cumulative exposure to UV rays.
UV rays are the main trigger for hyperpigmentation. UVA rays, in particular, penetrate deeply into the skin, altering cell structure and stimulating excessive melanin production.
Hormonal imbalances, particularly those related to menopause, can exacerbate pigmentation irregularities. Additionally, certain genetic predispositions also influence susceptibility to developing spots.
