Why Hyperpigmentation Returns in Autumn (and How to Prevent It)

Autumn often reveals the aftermath of summer – dark spots, uneven skin tone, and traces of UV exposure. Even though the sun isn’t as strong, pigmentation can return or become more visible during this time of year. In this article, we explain why it happens, how to prevent new spots, and which Divote products to choose for healthy, even-toned skin.

Why Do Dark Spots Reappear?

• The skin remembers the sun – even when UV exposure decreases, melanocytes remain active, causing existing spots to resurface.
• Weakened skin barrier – temperature changes and dry air make the skin more sensitive and reactive.
• Inconsistent skincare – skipping SPF or active ingredients at the end of summer allows pigment to “bloom” again.

That’s why autumn is the perfect time to renew your skin and introduce targeted care: SPF, vitamin C, niacinamide, and soothing toners.

Step-by-Step Autumn Skincare Routine

1. SPF – still your daily essential
Recommendation: Complete No-Stress Sunscreen – lightweight, hydrating, and reliable, offering everyday protection without a white cast.

2. Vitamin C – brightens and protects
Recommendation: Purito Pure Vitamin C Serum – helps even out skin tone, reduce dark spots, and boost the skin’s natural radiance.

3. Niacinamide – prevents new pigmentation
Recommendation: AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum – combines 5% niacinamide with soothing botanical extracts, ideal for daily use.

4. Soothing toners – restore the skin barrier
Recommendation: Mixsoon Centella Toner – gently calms, hydrates, and rebalances the skin after summer.

5. Night hydration – supports regeneration
Recommendation: Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic Cream – restores the skin barrier, locks in moisture, and gives the skin elasticity and glow.

Autumn is the right time to repair and protect your skin from the effects of summer. Consistent SPF protection, combined with vitamin C, niacinamide, and gentle, calming products, is key to preventing pigmentation from coming back.
