Indians are prone to hyperpigmentation(discolouring of skin tone) due to extreme weather conditions. Exposure to sun damages the skin. Even acne leave you with spots. If you suffer from pigmentation, the first rule is to avoid sun. It’ll go a long way in preventing pigmentation. Instead of going for expensive skin treatments, sort your daily skincare routine. It gives long-lasting results. Use pigment lighteners, skin brighteners to bring that fresh glow. Apply a skin lightening cream at night religiously– as said by Dr.Soma Sarkar,cosmetic dermatologist.
1. Wear a sunscreen of SPF 30 daily, without fail.
2. Regular exfoliation of the dead cells can lighten the hyperpigmentation.
3. If you have sensitive or dry skin, exfoliate only once a week. Never exfoliate on acne-prone skin.
4. With good base foundation, it’s easy to cover up the dark spots.
5. Put vitamin E on your skin-it’s called the skin vitamin.
6. Lemon juice helps in lightening the skin tone.
7. Milk & Honey Pack
Take half a cup of milk and add 2 tbsp of honey. Massage it on face and neck. Keep it for 20 minutes and then wash off with ice-cold water.
