Hyperpigmentation is something that no one really talks about and yet 35% of Singaporean women suffer from this skin concern. The largest reason being sun exposure. Being one degree from the equator does not just make it very hot, it makes it a harsh environment for your skin as well. Beauty Insider has the Q’s to your A’s! In this guide to understanding your hyperpigmentation and getting rid of it – the right way!
Contents
Myth One: Hyperpigmentation Only Occurs on Dark Skin
Wrong. Hyperpigmentation can occur for all skin types. Though it occurs for darker skin tones more often, excessive sun exposure can cause dark spots even on lighter skin tones.
Myth Two: My Pregnancy Hyperpigmentation is Never Going Away
False. Some types of pigmentation such as Melasma can get gradually worse if not treated at the right point of time. Pigmentation caused by hormonal changes can be treated. One of the easiest ways to lighten it gradually would be to use a serum.
Myth Three: My Genetic Hyperpigmentation Cannot be Fixed
No! Because there are a variety of reasons why pigmentation occurs it would not be fair to resolve to a fate without trying out serums. Pigmentation can worsen due to sun exposure, pollutants from the air including cigarette smoke, stress and other chemicals present in large cities. Serums that brighten your skin can contain antioxidants that help brighten your complexion and slow down signs of ageing.
Sage & Ylang Radiance Defence Serum
A brightening serum that works on all skin types, the Sage & Ylang Radiance Defence is a lightweight yet effective face serum for all skin types. The most striking thing about this product is the beautiful packaging. Miron Violet protects the serum from oxidation that often occurs with serums.
For best usage, use 1-2 pumps onto a damp face and neck. The oil absorbs very quickly into skin and skin is visibly brighter immediately. This serum is also perfect for Singapore weather. Once applied it feels weightless on the skin and is the perfect base layer before sunscreen.
The positive effects of the Sage & Ylang Radiance Defence serum can be seen instantly. Dark spots are lighter with continued use and the anti-oxidant qualities of the phytonutrients improve overall appearance of skin. Its lightweight consistency and natural ingredients make it the perfect add to any skin type’s daily skincare routine.
