GOODBYE DARK MARKS, HELLO LUMINOUS SKIN

Stubborn dark marks on the face and body are one of the most common skin problems amongst South African women. It is not just a physical condition; it can also leave your self-esteem impacted. So, how do you prevent these dark marks, and more importantly, how do you make them go away?

HOW TO PREVENT HYPERPIGMENTATION

We know that when it comes to caring for your skin, prevention is better than cure. The most important thing to remember is that if you want to prevent dark spots on the face and body in the first place, sun protection is essential. Use sun protection with an SPF of 30 or more every day. It is very convenient to use a day cream with built-in SPF protection, but it is advisable to apply a facial sun protection cream over your day cream as well.

THE MOST COMMON FORM OF HYPERPIGMENTATION

One of the most common forms of hyperpigmentation or dark spots in South Africa is Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation, known as PIH. It is mainly triggered by the way skin regenerates after inflammation. It is common among people with blemish-prone skin since the root cause of blemishes is inflammation. The dark marks left behind after blemishes heal can be even more aggravating and emotionally distressing than acne itself.

 

HOW TO PREVENT AND TREAT POST ACNE DARK MARKS

Be diligent about your skin care routine to help prevent blemishes from appearing and getting inflamed. Use a mild but effective cleanser and use light skincare products with anti-inflammatory ingredients, like licochalcone A and salicylic acid to prevent pores from clogging.

EXPERT APPROVED TIPS

  • Avoid picking or pressing your pimples.
  • Sun exposure can aggravate post inflammatory hyperpigmentation symptoms, so use sun protection every day.
  • Use skin care products that address the root cause of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, while at the same time protecting against further darkening of the post-acne marks. Ingredients such as NIVEA LUMINOUS630® is proven to reduce dark marks at the root cause, where melanin synthesis occurs.
  • If acne or hyperpigmentation is severe it is best to consult your dermatologist for a suitable treatment plan.
