#1 Use sunscreen

#2 Target existing spots

If you have existing pigmentation on your skin, try the Shiseido White Lucent All Day Brightener N SPF 50+ PA++++; a moisturiser that gives you instant brightening effect which lasts throughout the day. Formulated with SPF 50+ PA++++, it protects skin against nasty UVA and UVB damage. Plus, PROAPPROACH x 2 technology targets existing dark spots, while preventing the formation of new ones.

#3 Load up on vitamin C

Vitamin C is an ingredient commonly used in skincare products to fight pigmentation. It inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which in turn prevents melanin production. It's also a powerful antioxidant that mops up free radicals and prevent them from damaging collagen and elastin in your skin.
