How To Tackle Dark Marks For A More Radiant Glow
Most of us have had to deal with hyperpigmentation at least a couple of times in our lives, and the truth is, tackling it is not much fun. Dark marks, or hyperpigmentation, are a common skin concern that can leave you feeling a little self-conscious about the appearance of your skin, especially when it comes to socialising. Which is why so many people continue to search for solutions and tips on how to get rid of them.
If you’re one of those who’s wondered, ‘how to get rid of dark marks on my face?’, you’ve come to the right place, because Pond’s is sharing some top tips to help you tackle dark marks. So to reveal your radiant glow and help promote a more even skin tone, here are some beauty tips and tricks for dealing with hyperpigmentation.
What Are Dark Marks?
Hyperpigmentation refers to the excess production of melanin, the pigment that gives skin, hair and eyes their colour. When your body overproduces melanin, the excess pigment results in patches of skin that are darker than your natural skin tone, which can cause your skin tone to appear uneven. There are a wide range of factors that can result in dark marks on your face, including sun damage, – which is usually the main culprit - pollution, harsh products and over-exfoliating.
If dark marks and an uneven skin tone have been stressing you out, fret no more because fortunately, there are a host of solutions you can try to help you tackle dark marks and reveal your skin’s radiance.
How to Reduce Dark Marks?
Here are four tips for achieving a more radiant and even skin tone:
1. Deal With the Debris
Here, we just mean that it’s essential to exfoliate regularly to help remove old skin cells, dirt and other impurities from your skin. This can help to address dark marks by promoting cell renewal and getting rid of dirt and debris that can clog your pores and lead to inflammation, which can result in more hyperpigmentation. Make sure you use a gentle exfoliant, as over-exfoliating or exfoliating with harsh products can aggravate your skin. We recommend starting your skin care routine with Pond’s Flawless Radiance Even Tone Face Wash. It’s formulated with micro granules to gently and effectively cleanse and exfoliate your skin.
2. Always Apply Sunscreen
As sun damage is one of the main offenders when it comes to the causes of dark marks and uneven skin tone, making quality sunscreen a staple in your daily skin care routine is essential. So make sure you use skin care products with SPF 15 or higher, like the Pond’s Flawless Radiance Derma+ Hydrating Day Gel with SPF 15, to help keep your face protected. You can also use accessories like wide-brim hats and umbrellas to protect your skin when you’re outside. Just remember to reapply sunscreen throughout the day, especially when you’ll be spending time in the sun.
3. Hydrate for Happy Skin
Keeping your skin hydrated is a great way to promote the health and well-being of your skin and body, which can help to address an uneven skin tone. When your skin is dry, it can’t function optimally, so it’s important to restore moisture and keep your skin hydrated by using effective moisturisers, like those in the Pond’s range. Drinking plenty of water will go a long way in helping to keep your skin hydrated too.
4. Use Products Formulated for Dark Marks
To tackle dark marks, using products formulated to address uneven skin tone is a must. To promote a radiant and even skin tone, we recommend using the Pond’s Flawless Radiance range. Each product in our exceptional range is carefully formulated to promote a more even skin tone and radiant complexion with every step of your skin care routine.
