Hyperpigmentation is a common problem in black and mixed-race skin. Acne spots, scars, melasma ...
Dark spots can take time to fade. They can sometimes even worsen due to bad habits. Here are the 5 most common mistakes that delay your goal of even, radiant skin.
Many people think that black skin doesn't need sun protection. Wrong! The sun stimulates melanin production and can further darken existing spots. Without protection, your spots will take longer to disappear and may even worsen. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 50, suitable for black skin, with no white cast and non-comedogenic, like INOYA sunscreen .
Harsh soaps, alcohol-based lotions, or overly frequent scrubbing weaken the skin barrier. The result? Irritated skin, more prone to inflammation and therefore... hyperpigmentation! Choose gentle cleansers and exfoliants.

I know, it's tempting... but every time you pick at a pimple, you're worsening the inflammation and, consequently, the hyperpigmentation. Resist the urge to pop your pimples.

Dehydrated skin regenerates poorly and takes longer to repair itself. Proper hydration can soothe the skin and speed up the disappearance of dark spots. Opt for skincare enriched with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or non-comedogenic plant oils.
The desire to quickly remove dark spots sometimes leads to the use of products that are too powerful, or even dangerous. Uncontrolled hydroquinone, misused corticosteroids, questionable whitening creams... These products can damage the skin, cause serious side effects , or a rebound effect.
Fading hyperpigmentation spots requires patience and a tailored routine. By avoiding these common mistakes and adopting effective skincare products, you maximize your chances of regaining luminous, even-toned skin. Need a customized routine?
