Top Hyperpigmentation FAQs answered

Hyperpigmentation FAQs!

Dealing with dark spots can be tricky, but I’ve got you covered with the most frequently asked questions on hyperpigmentation. Let’s dive in!

1️⃣ What will worsen pigmentation?
Sunlight (UVA/UVB) & Blue light are major culprits! Protect your skin daily. ☀️🕶️ Iron oxides found in tinted sunscreen offer additional protection against blue light, which is super important for those with deeper skin tones as blue light from the sun (not your devices) worsens hyperpigmentation, especially melasma.

2️⃣ One product to prevent hyperpigmentation?
SUNSCREEN! It’s your best friend in the fight against dark spots. 🧴✨

3️⃣ One procedure to treat hyperpigmentation quickly?
Chemical Peels! They often require multiple rounds but move the needle quicker than most other options for clearer, more even skin.

4️⃣ One product that will fade hyperpigmentation?
It often depends on the cause, but start with products containing multiple actives that target all stages of the pigmentation pathway. Remedy Dark Spot Treatment and Faded by Topicals are great OTC options that wont break the bank 🌟

So, this was the 1st year that i used 60 spf on my face and body everyday. Im a dude and i had sun spots on my cheeks. After using sunscreen every single day, what i noticed was, it seemed as though the sun blocked and protected the top layer of my skin and the skin underneath was able to produce my natural skin color more effectively. My hyperpigmentation is 93% gone. I am shocked. The sunblock that i use on my face is shiseido spf 60 and for my body i use the big gallon spf from supergoop. I live in California so i have to reapply throughout the day because of the sun. What i found is when you protect the surface of the skin, it allows your natural skin color to gradually come up to the surface without being exposed to the harmful rays of the sun.

Remedy is an amazing product. For decades, I have had hyperpigmentation due to hormonal chin hair and ingrown hair. Highly recommend it.

What's your recommendation for a chemical peel for black women with sensitive skin?

[latoyajoseph]

What type of chemical peel specifically for melanated skin so hyperpigmentation doesn't worsen

[iamspeaking]

The Topicals did not ever work for me, and I really tried and followed directions. Besides the chemical peel personally I don’t see where any topical formula that is but prescribed would actually work.

Hyperpigmentation started with me from going out in the sun as a kid with no knowledge of sunscreen for African Americans. Now I feel it's permanent at this point.

Do you offer skin evaluations online? I'm having difficulty with my skin and have watched almost all of your videos to find out what might work best for me, but I couldn't pinpoint what I need. Side note, Is it possible for sebaceous filaments to turn into moles? Sorry for the long comment

Do you have any product recommendations for hyperpigmentation in the bikini area ? 🥴 after waxing, laser or even shaving? Those razor bumps really caused a lot of hyperpigmentation 😩so I’m looking for ways to help clear it up if possible.
