| Evenly toned skin is one of the major factors that determine beauty in the Western and Eastern hemisphere. In the Western hemisphere an evenly tanned skin is desired while the Eastern hemisphere prefers a pale skin as ideal of beauty. With increasing age so-called age spots tend to develop, specifically on the skin areas that are mostly exposed to sunlight. Mainly affected areas are hands, face and cleavage. Elucidation of the age spots can be achieved by the use of particular actives. They inhibit the development and thereby reduce the concentration of melanin. Melanin is not only responsible for the overall tanning of skin but also for the formation of age spots.
