Skin hyperpigmentation got you down? Here are products to bring out that glow

 

 

With the summer season here, we’re definitely spending more time outdoors. This back-to-normal lifestyle is more than welcome, but exposure to sunlight, though at some point is healthy, can often lead to hyperpigmentation, more commonly known as “dark spots.” With mask-wearing still the norm, we also fall victim to dreaded “maskne.” Without the aid of a good product, or two, this can often trigger months-long unwanted blemishes.

 

Whether it’s caused by sun damage, hormone-induced melasma or post-breakout blemishes, skin hyperpigmentation is real. This is mainly caused by the depositing of excess pigment in the deeper layers of skin, which forms uneven discoloration. Fret not! Fortunately, there are skin-loving ingredients that reverse the damage.

When shopping for skincare products, look out for these superstar ingredients that brighten pesky discoloration and scarring—Vitamin C, Glycolic Acid and Fermented Rice Water. Vitamin C treats UV exposure photo-damage on skin, aids in the skin’s regeneration process and even helps boost the collagen level. Glycolic Acid, on the other hand, is considered as the workhorse of exfoliating acids, which powerfully tackles hyperpigmentation, dullness and skin aging. Let’s not forget about fermented rice water, best known for its skin-illuminating properties. It even reduces the appearance of pores!

 

If spending on lavish laser treatments seems far-fetched, here are more feasible product options that tackle dark spots and pigmentation to add to your daily routine.
