– Natural aging: Over time, the skin loses elasticity and so-called “senile lentigines” appear.
– Liver problems: In some cases, dark spots may be related to liver function and excess toxins.
– Hormonal changes: Especially common in women during pregnancy or menopause.
– Nutritional deficiencies: A lack of vitamins and antioxidants can promote the appearance of dark spots on the skin.
When should you worry?
If the spots change in size, color, or texture, or if they appear suddenly, it’s best to consult a dermatologist. These changes may indicate more than just a cosmetic sign.
Tips for skin care to avoid dark spots
– Use sunscreen daily, including on your hands.
– Maintain a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, with antioxidants that protect your skin.
– Moisturize your hands with natural creams based on aloe vera or coconut oil.
– Avoid excessive alcohol and tobacco consumption, as they accelerate skin aging.
