Hyperpigmentation ranks high as one of the top anti-aging skincare concerns in women. Exposure to heat, UV light, breakouts and hormonal fluctuations are all triggers of hyperpigmentation throughout the year.
Treat hyperpigmentation with a three-prong approach for real results.
- Protect
Avoid direct sunlight, heat and always wear daily sun protection of at least SPF 30. Vitamin C serums offer antioxidants that also help to further protect skin from free radical damage, which can lead to wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
- Control
Hyperpigmentation results from an excess production of melanin in the skin. Choose skin-care products with ingredients that are designed to suppress melanin production. Consistency is key, as the more you use the fighting agents, the deeper into the skin they are absorbed to slow the pigment process.
- Exfoliate
Daily gentle exfoliation helps to rid skin of damaged surface cells. In more advanced hyperpigmentation cases, retinol can help to stimulate the rate of cell turnover, which slows on its own with age. New cells with regulated melanin content are revealed, and with retinol you also receive added benefits of wrinkle prevention and smooth texture.
