What is best to get rid of dark spots
HOW TO GET RID OF DARK SPOTS & HYPERPIGMENTATION FAST!!
[Music]
what's good i am here today with a very
very highly requested video this is
probably the most requested video
actually and that is how to get rid of
hyperpigmentation commonly but
incorrectly known as acne scarring so
Asia
what is hyperpigmentation so
hyperpigmentation occurs when something
causes an overproduction of melanin in
your skin which then causes
discoloration or unevenness of skin tone
and there are many different types of
hyperpigmentation there's like melasma
and different things like that but the
type of hyperpigmentation that you're
probably watching this video for is
called post inflammatory
hyperpigmentation and those are that's
the type of hyperpigmentation that's
left after acne has healed people of
color are a lot more susceptible to post
inflammatory hyperpigmentation however
it can affect anyone of any race any
ethnicity any skin color and I need to
plug in my disclaimer here I am NOT a
professional I am NOT a dermatologist
I'm not a chemist
I'm not an aesthetician I am just
someone interested in skincare so after
watching this video I highly encourage
you to do your own research and to talk
to professionals on your own time I am
just relaying information that I've
learned from other professionals books
articles scientific journals written by
professionals so I encourage you guys to
do the same so how the heck do you get
rid of post inflammatory
hyperpigmentation good question here's
some treatments for you so the first
thing that you can do is absolutely
nothing post inflammatory
hyperpigmentation will heal on its own
it will go away on its own
without the use of like an external
treatment however depending on the
severity of the wound and the color of
your skin that could take anywhere from
to 24 months it could literally take
years for post inflammatory
hyperpigmentation to go away but trust
me I know what it's like to live with
skin problems I know the type of
negative impact it can have on your
self-esteem and confidence and I also
know that people want to get rid of it
right now immediately
so while patience is a virtue there are
much more efficient ways to get rid of
post inflammatory hyperpigmentation so
treatment number two is sunscreen every
time you walk out of your house without
sunscreen you are making your problems
worse the Sun already causes your skin
to darken by absorbing the UV rays so
that's why when you go outside for a
long time you get tan and it will in
turn make your dark spots worse darker
so getting a good sunscreen will prevent
your dark spots from getting darker but
you should already be using sunscreen
anyway to protect your skin I don't care
how pale or dark you are you have to be
using sunscreen I don't care what race
you are okay with this city you are I
don't care if you're as white as this or
as brown as this that was a good
comparison huh sweetie but today I'm
sunscreen on
so this hyperpigmentation doesn't just
melt away like it doesn't just disappear
it needs to be brought to the surface
and then replaced with fresh new skin
cells physical exfoliators could be
really beneficial in helping do that and
by physical exfoliators I mean like
facial scrubs like facial brushes like
Claire Sonic's vanity planet spin for
perfect skin brushes things like that
however the physical scrubbing of your
skin could just make your acne worse and
then it'll leave a lot more dark spots
and it'll be a lot more difficult to get
rid of because now you are trying to get
rid of these stark dark spots but now
you have ones that are going to be dark
spots and we don't want that that is why
a lot of people's preferred method
of exfoliation is the next treatment
chemical exfoliation so there are
certain types of acids that are present
in some skin care products to chemically
exploit your skin and they're often
found in much lower percentages than
chemical peels so that it's like gentle
enough to use more often like every day
or every other day or twice a week or
whatever your skin can handle most
chemical exfoliator --zz will either
come in the form of an AAA or a BH a but
for things like hyperpigmentation and
sun damage you want to look out for an
aaj and here are some AJ ingredients
that you should be looking for when
you're considering purchasing new
skincare products for your
hyperpigmentation glycolic acid lactic
acid citric acid and ascorbic acid which
is a vitamin C derivative so all of
these chemical exfoliants will exfoliate
your skin to reveal fresh new skin sales
chemical exfoliation will any type of
exfoliation really does make your skin a
lot more susceptible to sun damage so
like I said it is very very very
important I cannot stress that enough
that you use a good sunscreen SPF 30 or
higher then you go to another treatment
is something called tretinoin so
tretinoin is a retinoid which is a
derivative of vitamin A and it's most
commonly used to treat things like acne
fine lines wrinkles sun damage and
hyperpigmentation by increasing cell
turnover and stimulating collagen
production
retinoids can be found in some
over-the-counter skin care products at a
very low percentage but studies have
shown that they work most effectively at
certain percentages in relation to your
skin prescribed by a doctor and if
you're not familiar with the word
tretinoin or retinoids a very common or
like a really well known
brand or product of tretinoin is called
retin-a you've probably heard it before
but that is like the most common I think
or the most known okay moving on to
hydro key known hydro key known is a
very controversial ingredient for many
reasons and higher percentages can only
be prescribed by a dermatologist
so what hydro Kino does is it inhibits
melanin production and it kind of just
like targets it and breaks down
excessive amounts of melanin you send to
essentially brighten the dark spots
there are lots of studies against it
however there's a lot of studies that
are also for it it's very it's a very
controversial ingredient like I said
there's a lot of possible side effects
but with all the side effects noted I
decided to just try it anyway my
dermatologist prescribed this like
little mixture of 1% tretinoin and I
believe 8% hydroquinone and I actually
had to sign a waiver stating that I was
aware of all the side effects like I
literally had to sign a waiver sounds
like a little fearful I was like I have
to sign my safety away interesting but
about five weeks later my skin literally
has never looked better like the texture
of my skin is so so nice and all the
hyperpigmentation will not all of it but
like I'd say like a good 85 to 90% of my
hyperpigmentation has just completely
disappeared I used to have
hyperpigmentation all over here because
I talk about this all the time at the
beginning of this year I've had really
bad breakouts from a shampoo and
conditioner that I was using it left a
lot of hyperpigmentation everywhere and
as you can see Rome a cup on my neck
this is like completely gone that's
before and this is after like it's all
completely gone and nothing worked on
that until I tried this like tretinoin
Hydra Pinot combination so that is what
worked for me I know that it's not for
everyone
but yeah if you were
one during my secret to really nice skin
it's literally that so I will be putting
links to products that you can look at
in the description box below because
this video was a little bit more about
ingredients more than it was specific
products so I'll put down products below
that have these specific ingredients and
you can just check them out try them for
yourself I would though I would still
highly recommend you go see a
dermatologist and see what they say
because they will know a lot more about
your skin than I do I'm just not a huge
fan of the my skincare because I'm not a
chemist and I don't know the effects
that a pure substance is going to have
on my skin without being diluted with
something else but anyway thank you guys
so much for watching this video get this
video a thumbs up if you would like to
see more skin can be to yours leave a
comment down below if you'd like to see
