PIH (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) is a common skin concern that occurs when the skin overproduces melanin in response to inflammation. Unlike sun spots or freckles caused by UV exposure, PIH can result from various types of skin trauma, such as acne, eczema, or other skin injuries. While not harmful, these spots can be bothersome and affect self-esteem.
Here are some effective treatments and best practices to fade these dark spots to help you feel confident in your skin.
(1) Chemical exfoliation using natural facial peels. Incorporate a gentle, natural facial peel that contains fruit enzymes, glycolic acid, or lactic acid. These peels not only improve skin texture but also help diminish dark spots.
(2) Topical treatments. Using products specifically formulated to target hyperpigmentation can accelerate the healing process. For example, vitamin C serums are known for their brightening properties, lightening dark spots, and protecting against future pigmentation issues.
(3) Skin whitening treatments. Look for safe, natural skin care products like licorice extract, kojic acid, and niacinamide. These ingredients effectively even out skin tone without the harsh effects of chemical bleaching agents.
(4) Laser and light therapies. Advanced treatments such as laser therapy and intense pulsed light (IPL) can provide significant results by targeting melanin and breaking up pigmentation clusters.
