Does hyperpigmentation deserve serious attention?  You bet it does!  When you’re caring for your beautiful black skin, to You, it’s the most important subject on the planet.

There are many reasons and an array of conditions that contribute to hyperpigmentation but hormonal imbalance and medications are at the top of the list.

Skin therapist understand that Hyperpigmentation can be the side effect of a number of medications, including certain antibiotics, cancer drugs and more.  Even drugs that prevent seizures can cause discoloration in your skin.

Believe it or not the number one topical ingredient used to treat dark spots and uneven skin tone, hydroquinone, can cause hyperpigmentation.

Melasma is one of the conditions when uneven skin tones occur.  It is caused by hormonal changes that are common during pregnancy.  You will also see this condition in thyroid dysfunction, through the use of birth control pills and with the use of some hormone replacement therapy.

Caring For Black Skin

There are some cases of hyperpigmentation that can make you look as though your skin has been burned.  While diagnosed as a form of melasma, it is often the result of using cheap products on your skin.  Now every product doesn’t have to cost you $100 a jar.  But when you pay $2.00 for a product, I’m talking in the US and US prices, you’re not always getting the best ingredients, and therefore you can’t expect the best results.

Your skin is a living organism and must be treated with tender loving care.  You feed your skin just as you feed your body.  The quality of the product/food that you use on your skin will determine the health of your skin.  If you are just as conscious of the food you take into your body, your skin will stand a really good chance of looking flawless and feeling smooth as a baby’s bottom.

The more natural the product the better.  Licorice, bearberry extract (beta-arbutin) and lactic acid are great beginnings when searching for ingredients.  These are natural skin lighteners and will assist you in getting your desired results.

It takes time for you, as an African American to see results when attempting to remove dark spots and even out your skin tone.  The results will not be over night.  When you see commercials and ads in magazines and online, don’t be fooled by the results.  A lot of the images are altered with airbrushing or the use of Photoshop.

Can you get results of evening out your skin tone and removing dark spots?  Yes, most of you can.  The key is patience.  Whether you’re 13 or 63, it will take patience.  Not every product will work for you and not all black skin care regimens will be the same.

The solution and the right product mix will come with your patience and willingness to try different methods.

Dedicated To Your Beauty!
