Body Hyperpigmentation is normal anyone with more melanin rich skin will have some shade variations within the body. But I do understand that severe hyperpigmentation Can affect your quality of life: pigment remains for years much more troublesome than the initial cause of pigment. so if that you in this video I am going to provide you with a simple guide you can follow to improve your hyperpigmentation


Keep in mind you’ll need different products and slightly more aggressive yet strategic approach than with facial pigmentation because body skin is thicker, and the cells turn over cycle is slower so you need higher percentages and lower ph than on the face to actually get proper absorption of actives into the thicker skin on the body

So in general you are going to want to cycle between products that are
pigment inhibitors, exfoliators and cell rejuvenators aka retinols to stop the over production of melanin.

Its recommended to always patch test before starting a new product and to only introduce one new product at a time.

For epidermal treatment I recommended the Every third day skin cycle regimen- you are going to switch up what you are dong every third night, treatment, exfoliate , repair mode
Every third night you are with focusing on treating (mon/thur/sun); exfoliating (Tuesday,fri) or repairing the skin (wed/saturday)

So what this would look like on a treatment day is using a gentle wash, follow that up with faded hyperpigmentation treatment spray and a moisturizer rich in linoleic omega fatty acids.
Night 2 exfoliate: the exfoliating product you choose should be specific to the body area of pigmentation you are treating for example for bikini and under arm hyperpigmentation, follow this up with your omega rich Moisturizer
Night 3: is all about nourishing our skin barrier while rebuilding our skin structure with a retinol rich with omegas
Sunscreen for any area that is openly exposed to the skin and covering with clothing!

If your pigmentation is truly dermal it is unlikely to respond to OTC products and you may need to consider seeking your dermatologist for the best treatment options for you in my office we do chemical peels specific for the body, laser treatment, infusion microneedling etc. because Often there is a combination of both epidermal and dermal starting off with this regimen would be helpful in seeing some improvement

OTC- 3-6 MONTHS/CELL CYCLES TO WORK- dark marks on the body take much longer to fade than dark marks on your face because of the slower cell turn over rate
