Understanding brown spots on hands

If there are different spots on the hands, the main ones are brown spots. These are pigment spots linked to a disruption in the pigmentation process. When melanin is overproduced in certain areas, this creates brown spots. Exposure without sun protection promotes their appearance. Since the hands are an area often forgotten when applying a total screen, and a part of the body constantly exposed to UV rays, the appearance of pigment spots is almost systematic. Other factors explain this, including hormonal disturbances during pregnancy, which can create a disruption of melanocytes and cause brown spots, specifically on the face of pregnant women.

What causes brown spots on hands?

The causes of pigmentation spots on the hands are various:

• Sun exposure: UV rays can damage the skin when it is not protected by sunscreen . They can therefore cause excessive pigmentation , particularly on the hands, and accelerate the appearance of age spots , known here as solar lentigines .

• Aging: The appearance of spots on the hands comes from natural aging , which causes pigmentary changes. Melanin production is altered, which promotes brown spots or age spots. An anti-aging treatment is then recommended.

• Allergic reactions: Cosmetics or detergents can trigger an allergic reaction and, with it, the appearance of stains on the hands.

• Genetics: Genetic predisposition also plays a role in the development of pigment spots on the hands. Some people are more likely than others to have them.

How to prevent brown spots on hands?

The skin on your hands is thicker than that on your face, but it is also more attacked. Washing, rubbing and other small daily actions weaken the skin barrier, which becomes less resistant. The skin is more sensitive to external aggressions and it shows more signs of aging such as spots and age marks. Using a hand cream daily provides greater comfort, while helping to keep your hands more beautiful and more resistant to aggressions. It is recommended to combine an anti-spot and anti-aging cream to reduce these marks.

When exposed to the sun, applying sunscreen to your fingertips is by far the best way to prevent brown spots and avoid damaging your sun capital. From May to September, when the sun is at its strongest, remember to protect exposed areas with sunscreen containing a minimum SPF30, even in the city. The choice of your SPF should be made according to the texture and your skin type, knowing that skin prone to hyperpigmentation should opt for an SPF50. Also remember to limit tanning to limit the effect of the sun's rays on your skin.
