Hey Maishangels!
Have you ever heard about hyperpigmentation? Do you have it yourself?
Hyperpigmentation is the result of an excess production of melanin in the skin, which can cause dark spots, age spots, and patches of discoloration.
Summer is approaching and we know that hyperpigmentation issues can be major during this time of the year. That is why we decided to list few tips that can help you:
- Wear sunscreen: Wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher can protect your skin from UV damage and prevent further hyperpigmentation.
- Avoid sun exposure: Limit sun exposure and seek shade, especially during peak hours (10 am to 4 pm).
- Use products that unify your complexion: Use products that contain ingredients such as vitamin C, or niacinamide to help lighten hyperpigmented areas.
- Use exfoliating products: Use gentle exfoliating products, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), to help remove dead skin cells and improve skin tone.
- Consider estheticians treatments: some peels, such as glycolic acid peels or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels, can help to remove the top layer of skin and improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
- Consult a dermatologist: A dermatologist can provide personalized advice and treatment options, such as laser treatments or prescription creams, to help reduce hyperpigmentation.
It's important to be patient when trying to reduce hyperpigmentation, as it can take time to see results. It's also important to protect your skin from further damage and to seek professional advice if you're concerned about any changes in your skin.
