Are You The Culprit for skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation?

On a daily basis, as African Americans you deal with the challenges of your skin. The main things that you want to address and treat is skin discoloration or dark spots.

That’s your main goal and focus, but what has caused this to begin with?

As a person of color, your skin will naturally have different graduations of shades and points. If you’re in the sun, the part that’s exposed to the sun is naturally going to be darker than the part that’s not exposed.

While it’s often referred to as tanning, it’s now caused one part of your body to appear discolored from the other part of your body.

So the natural sun exposure is one way of looking at skin discoloration. What a lot of you are expressing interest in wanting, is some type of treatment for skin discoloration and dark spots caused by things that you’re doing to your skin inadvertently.

For instance, when you have to take certain medications that are dealing with blood pressure, hypertension and diabetes, because of the nature of these particular illnesses which are dysfunctions internally, it’s causing your skin to shift in its expression of color.

A lot of the trauma that you experience as dark spots, you’re causing them because you want to end it immediately.  However, going in untrained on how to handle your skin, you’re adding more pressure than necessary and when that’s done you will see more dark spots form  than necessary.

The sun is great and we need at least 10-15 minutes of direct sunlight a day, but if you know that you’re challenged with certain skin problems, then wear a sun hat so you’re not exposing yourself directly.  Whenever possible,  make sure you keep your face covered from the sun.

You can also use a sunscreen. Sunscreens and sunblocks were actually developed so they could block the production of melanin which is what gives you your color. At the same time, because you’re melanated from the core, it’s going to help enhance your beauty and with the sun actually producing brighter rays, you too now have to protect your melanin even more so than non-melanated people.

Use Facial Mask To Help with Your Skin

A nice facial mask that’s going to help you extract the black heads and control the oil build up on your skin are going to go into the core and deeper layer  of your skin. This will allow your skin therapist to push those black heads up while the mask pulls them out.

Also, certain cleansers are going to help soften your skin and they will allow the therapist and you through home use,  to keep your skin soft.  Those black heads will automatically come to the surface as you’re working your daily skin care regimen.

That’s it for this week,

Dedicated To Your Beauty
