This word says it all: Hyperpigmentation is the excess color that can be present in the skin. Pigment is a brown dye that provides the skin's color. Sometimes people produce more pigment in certain areas of their skin, causing dark spots.
This is also called hyperpigmentation. Did you know that people are sometimes estimated to be older than 12 years because of their pigmented spots? ! That’s not what we at Clay And Glow strive for. So, here are some tips to prevent or combat hyperpigmentation.
How does hyperpigmentation develop? Hyperpigmentation is caused by skin cells producing too much melanin. Melanin is responsible for skin color, but some areas of the skin may overproduce this substance.
This causes melanin to clump together and form darker patches on the skin's surface. The exact causes of overproduction and hyperpigmentation often vary. If you have this condition, it's best to have it checked by an expert.
What else can you do to combat or prevent hyperpigmentation? Use SPF: Using a sunscreen or moisturizer with SPF every day will not only protect your skin from sun damage but also control existing discoloration.
That's why we love Clay And Glow Face Sunscreen SPF 30. If you use it every day, your skin will thank you. Just 30 minutes in the sun can have such an impact on your skin that you spend a month applying it with no results! For us, SPF definitely has a place in our skincare routine.
Use the right ingredients: Many ingredients in skin care products can protect your skin from hyperpigmentation and even help whiten your skin. If you've read our other blogs, you'll know that we're big fans of Vitamin C serums when it comes to skin pigment.
Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants, scavenging free radicals like no other. Research also shows that vitamin C strengthens the skin’s natural defense system. It supports skin from within, so you can glow from the outside!
Second on our vitamin C serum ingredient list (after vitamin C, of course;) is niacinamide. You can also benefit from this if you suffer from hyperpigmentation or want to prevent it. It ensures that melanosomes are blocked from entering surrounding skin cells.
This means that niacinamide can make a good contribution to the treatment of hyperpigmentation. Give it a good scrubbing: Exfoliating regularly removes dead skin cells.
This can be achieved, for example, by using a jojoba exfoliating facial scrub once or twice a week. As a result, the skin is further regenerated and the color becomes more even.
Be consistent and patient. This may be obvious, but it's crucial to be consistent and patient with your skin care routine. Unfortunately, hyperpigmentation doesn't go away after a day of proper skin care, although that would be nice.
Therefore, it is important that you continue to follow your skin care routine every day and you will definitely see results in the long run. Even if you don’t have hyperpigmentation yet, prevention is always better than cure.
In this case, continue to protect your skin from external and internal influences. Are you curious and want to get started? Picking out all the right products can be a daunting task, so we've done it for you. Check out the perfect hyperpigmentation skin care products for you here.
