Yes most likely unless the spots are thicker or precancerous lesions (quite common on the backs of the hands). So you are probably thinking, “Why isn’t this done more?” The...
I would advise you to use a very high zinc and/or titanium containing sunscreen at least SPF 30. This will block UVB well, but more importantly, will block the UVA...
Well, there’s not a perfect solution but there IS improvement and here’s why. Some sun damage spots (lentigoes) are just those completely flat tan or brown spots and if you...

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
