Hyperpigmentation is one of the most popular skin concerns. Recent “Self” magazine mentioned new study of hyperpigmentation from Johnson & Johnson in Skillman NJ. According to their research darker complexions have a higher level of inflammation mediators, proteins that build up in skin and possibly produce pigment. Those mediators fuel blotches by rushing into inflamed skin.
So what is one to do? If you are prone to hyperpigmentation avoid any form of inflammation at all cost.
Stay away from abrasive scrubs whose gritty texture might cause microscopic cuts in your skin and cause irritation. Chemical peel will be your best option. It will gently exfoliate the skin and over time lighten the hyperpigmentation. Series of treatments is recommended for optimal results. You will be very happy with results.
