Treating Sun Spots with Lightening Products
http://www.skincare-news.com/articles.phpArtID=727
Sun spots are very common in adults over 40, but they can appear on younger skin, too. Not surprisingly, they typically result from long-term sun exposure. To defend itself against sun
exposure, the skin reacts by generating more melanocytes, which produce melanin. When too much melanin is produced, sun spots emerge -- commonly appearing on the face, chest, back,
shoulders and hands. Thankfully, products with hydroquinone and other ingredients can help to treat your sun spots. Hydroquinone is the most effective, well-researched skin lightening
ingredient on the market. It works by inhibiting the enzyme, tyrosinase, which synthesizes melanin.
