Whether your beautiful black skin tone is the deepest ebony or the lightest alabaster, it all stems from a natural pigment called melanin. When everything is in balance and no external factors interfere, your skin tone will be smooth and even. But if your skin is traumatized, it will lead to hyper-pigmentation.
Uneven skin tones can be caused by sun damage, hormonal irregularities, drug reactions or other skin conditions. A lot of your skin issues are an external display of your internal health. Topical products can be applied but when there’s a flare up on your skin, you might want to take a closer look at what you’re feeding your skin from within.
As for external care of your skin, the key is to combine a series of professional treatments that will help remove existing discoloration and have a home care regimen that will help prevent excess pigmentation.
Professional treatments such as chemical peels, laser treatments and micro-dermabrasion are just a few of the treatments offered for evening out your skin. But as an African American make sure that the person caring for Your skin has experience and knowledge of black skin care. In the wrong hands all of these treatments can be even more damaging to your skin. But in all fairness, in the right hands, these treatments can provide you with a deep cleansing and exfoliation technique that will remove layers of dead cell build up that has given your skin a lack luster appearance for years.
For in home treatments, a gentle exfoliant that will not bruise or scratch your skin will be your best choice. At NYRAJU we provide you with our Jojoba Facial Scrub. Made with gentle jojoba wax beads, this product gives you the perfect way to exfoliate your skin and remove dead skin cells that will leave your skin looking radiant and youthful.
More to come on caring for your skin and hyper-pigmentation.
