How to Choose the Right Products for Body Pigmentation and Dark Spots
Body hyperpigmentation can be challenging to manage and can affect our self-confidence. With so many pigmentation and skin discoloration products on the market, it's important to choose wisely, as some ingredients can do more harm than good. Here’s what you should consider when selecting a product for body hyperpigmentation:
1. Pigmentation Correction does not require an overwhelming routine
You do not need a new 10 step body care routine to target pigmentation, discoloration and dark spots. Integrate 1-2 pigmentation products into your existing body care routine and apply only on the areas you require correction. This could include dark knuckles, elbows, knees, underarms, bikini line, neck etc.
2. Avoid Irritating Ingredients
Products with irritating ingredients may initially show lightening results but can damage the skin and may even be toxic. Ingredients like retinols, acids, and hydroquinone can cause many issues, particularly for individuals with darker skin tones. Read more about why we did not include retinol in our formulas here.
3. Protect Your Skin Barrier
Consider if the products you choose will damage your skin barrier, necessitating additional steps to restore balance. Many routines use harsh formulas which require more products to bring the skin back into balance. This can be both time-consuming and requires your body skin to process more product.
Our Approach to Formulating Hyperpigmentation Products
When formulating our body hyperpigmentation line, we focused on creating effective solutions that are targeted, safe, clean, non-irritating, and don’t require an entirely new body care routine. We aimed to deliver fast results without compromising the integrity of your skin.
By considering these factors, you can make an informed choice and find a hyperpigmentation product that works best for your body, helping you achieve healthier, more even-toned skin.
