We’ve all had moments with hyperpigmentation on our skin. A dark spot near the lips after a day under the sun (even with sunscreen) or small patches on our cheeks as we age. Being of multifactorial causes, it’s widely spread amongst us. Yet, some of us have it more widespread or more often. Today, I want to address all of us who suffer from hyperpigmentation in our daily lives. With this evening skincare routine for hyperpigmentation, made 100% with organic ingredients, you can naturally even out your skin tone.

Thankfully, nature has given us many ingredients that we can incorporate to create the perfect skincare routine for hyperpigmentation.

Essential Steps for an Effective Hyperpigmentation Skincare Routine

Having a well-structured skincare routine can do wonders to revive our skin. From treating sun exposure, irritation, blemishes, and dry skin, a skincare routine will positively impact your quality of life. While the steps might be similar, the products and ingredients are essential to watch out for in a skincare routine targeting hyperpigmentation. Look for products with vitamin C, known to even out skin tone, and moringa extract, a fantastic natural skin brightener.

It will gently wash away all makeup and sebum without over-drying the skin. This initial step primes your skin for the treatments that follows.

How to use: Wet your face with lukewarm water, put one pump of the cleansing oil on your hand, make it foam and gently cleanse your face with circular movements.
