One of the most frequent issue when it comes to skin looks and health is hyperpigmentation. There are many people complaining about brown spots or large skin areas which have been affected by hyperpigmentation. Yet, this condition can be avoided by following these easy steps.

1. Avoid sun
Exposure to sun triggers the overproduction of melanin (the substance responsible for skin darkening). Thus, the more you stay in the sun without using protection, the darker your skin will become. Also, the chances of developing permanent brown spots increase significantly when the skin is excessively exposed to sun. Use high SPF lotions, hats and sunglasses when you have to get out in the sun and minimize as much as possible the time spent outside during the hours when the sun burning.

2. Drink plenty of water
Water is the main source of moisture for the skin. Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day and the chances that your skin will get spotted will be reduced significantly. In addition to that, the skin will be moisturized and will have a healthy, glowing look, while the apparition of fine lines will be diminished considerably.

3. Have a balanced diet
Believe it or not, the things you eat have a great impact on the way your skin looks like. By eating foods rich in vitamins, minerals, fibers, amino-acids and carbohydrates not only will you keep your body healthy, but you will also have a great skin. When your body is functioning right your skin is healthy and glowing too.

4. Check your health permanently
As mentioned previously, the skin is the mirror of your body. If something goes wrong inside it will be seen outside too. Some brown spots or hyperpigmentation are caused by internal problems, such as hormonal imbalances. This is why it is necessary to check your health periodically and prevent any spots or other conditions on your skin and in your body.
