Au Naturel: Natural Ways to Treat Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is the second top reason people visit the dermatologist. Hyperpigmentation, or darker patches on the skin, is leftover inflammation following a bout of acne.

Not all dark spots, however, are created equal. Some spots are easier to treat, such as what experts call post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is often the result of picking acne. There are also cases more difficult to deal with such as melasma, characterized by brown or gray-brown patches on the forehead, cheeks, or the upper lip area.

You can try some natural remedies to lighten the dark spots such as the following:

1. Water up!

Skip the soda and flavored juices. Instead, go for fresh coconut water, green juices, and plenty of water. Improper hydration can impede cell turnover – a process that is essential to lightening scars, dark spots, and uneven skin tone caused by skin ailments and acne.

2. Go big on exfoliation.

Slew off dead skin cells gently but frequently. If you live in a city where pollution is rather bad, you may exfoliate at least thrice a week to keep hyperpigmentation at bay.

3. Adopt a skin care routine.

Be patient in treating hyperpigmentation and make sure not to pick acne scars to keep new spots from forming. Face masks from natural, home-made ingredients such as turmeric are a good way to lighten hyperpigmentation. You may also find pre-made versions of these in the market.
