Stop it ahead of time: Sun spots
Uneven skin? Sun spots? Unfortunately, that’s what happens when you indulge in an entire summer’s worth of pool parties and beach trips, without sunscreen. A damage eraser would come in handy right about now, wouldn’t it?
The good news is that one exists, kind of. Applying retinoids or products with retinoic acid to those problem areas can actually help speed cell turnover and remodel your skin on a cellular level, says Danesh. Your brown spots will gradually fade, and you’ll see any damaged areas of skin start to improve.
Just make sure you use sunscreen and stay out of the sun while you use products with retinoids because they make your skin more vulnerable to UV rays, says Begoun. Otherwise, you’ll be re-doing everything that your magical eraser undid.
