Protecting Your Skin

Many skin experts recommend protecting the skin from excessive ultraviolet (UV) exposure by wearing protective clothing, seeking shade during peak sunlight hours, and applying broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly. Sun protection may reduce the contrast between normal skin and lighter spots while also lowering the long-term risk of sun damage.

Maintaining good skin hydration with gentle moisturizers may also improve overall skin appearance, although moisturizers do not eliminate pigment loss caused by conditions like IGH or vitiligo.
