As we head into Memorial Day weekend and spend more time outdoors, itโs important to remember that sun exposure can cause freckles and pigmentation to appear darker and more noticeable. โ๏ธ
Ultraviolet (UV) rays stimulate pigment-producing cells to increase melanin, which can deepen the appearance of freckles over time. While freckles themselves are harmless, repeated UV exposure may also contribute to uneven pigmentation and long-term sun damage.
Practicing consistent sun protection, including daily SPF and reapplication during outdoor activities, helps support overall skin health. ๐ธ
๐ If you notice any pigmented spots that are changing or look unusual, schedule a consultation with us at ๐ธ Amy Vaughan Dermatology for proper evaluation.
