Darnell Cox Instagram – Are sunspots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma affecting your skin❓
Here’s my TOP treatments for hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and melasma ⬇️
☀️Sunscreen – The first line of defense is prevention. Apply a broad spectrum sunblock of SPF 30-50 & wear a wide-brimmed hat outdoors. 👒
✨Hydroquinone – This prescription-strength skin lightener can be used for up to four months. There are some risks (learn more when you subscribe to my email list). Doctor supervision is required. However, a couple of online skincare lines prescribe hydroquinone, like Musely & Curology.
🪄Tretinoin – This is a prescription-strength retinoid. It is clinically proven to lighten hyperpigmentation & sunspots, even out skin tone & texture, & treat melasma.
🌟Niacinamide – This B3 vitamin treats acne, reduces pore size, evens skin tone, treats melasma, & hyperpigmentation, strengthens skin’s natural barrier, & fights free radicals.
🩸Chemical Peels – If you missed my live show about at-home chemical peels, go back & watch! 👀
🧴Other effective skincare ingredients – azelaic acid, kojic acid, tranexamic acid, alpha-arbutin, licorice extract, vitamin C, & tranexamic acid.
💥Light Pulse Lasers – These in-office lasers target the melanin in the skin to break up hyperpigmentation & absorb it back into the body.
*IPL (Intense Pulsed Light Laser) reduces hyperpigmentation, such as sunspots. Be sure to wait 3-6 weeks between the spot test & the first treatment. It usually takes 3-6 weeks to see results & requires multiple sessions.
🍄Vitamin D – Although no vitamin can prevent hyperpigmentation, a diet rich in Vitamin D is likely to help. Eat more raw almonds, almond milk, eggs, oily fish, mushrooms, & yogurt.
🔴Red Light Therapy – Red light therapy masks, such as the Omnilux Contour, have shown lightening of melasma & discolorations.
These treatments WORK, & I have the post-farm-girl-arms to prove it. 😉
