Post-Summer Pigmentation and Melasma: Your Complete Treatment Guide from Canadian Beauty Boutique

Post-Summer Pigmentation and Melasma: What Works and Why
If your freckles deepened or new patches appeared after summer, you are seeing the aftermath of UV, heat, and visible light on melanocytes. Melasma and sun spots are manageable with a smart routine: defend in the morning, correct in the evening, and commit to sunscreen every single day.
Why Pigmentation Flares After Summer
• UV and heat stimulate melanin production
• Visible light can worsen melasma, especially in deeper skin tones
• Hormones, genetics, and inflammation raise your baseline risk
The Non-Negotiables
• Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ and reapply every 2 hours outdoors
• Wide-brim hat and shade to minimize heat exposure
• Gentle cleansing and barrier-supporting hydration to reduce inflammation
