Principal causes of hyperpigmentation

Genetic inheritance is the most common cause of hyperpigmentation in black skins. Some people are genetically predisposed to producing excessive amounts of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. Regular and excessive exposure to the sun or UV rays also stimulates production of the famous pigment in the skin, which can cause hyperpigmentation. 

Hormonal disorders can also cause hyperpigmentation of dark skin during pregnancy. It should be pointed out, however, that these cases are fairly rare. Finally, anti-spot and pigmentation treatments are also potential causes of this anomaly. 

The most effective treatments 

There are a number of more or less natural treatments to combat hyperpigmentation. Some are, of course, more suitable than others. 

Among the most popular serums for this body blemish, niacinamide is undoubtedly one of the best choices. However, alpha arbutin seems to be more powerful in lightening stubborn spots. However, if you prefer a serum that can be mixed with other products, azelaic acid is probably a better option. 

Although there is no miracle solution, natural remedies are certainly the most appropriate. Natural ingredients such as vegetable oils like jojoba and black cumin oil, as well as essential oils of celery or cucumber, are excellent solutions. Bear in mind, however, that not all remedies are suitable for all skin types.

For example, jojoba oil is an excellent choice for oily and combination skin, while black cumin oil is recommended for acne-prone skin. As for celery or cucumber essential oils , they are recommended for brightening the skin and reducing pigmentation spots. 

When hyperpigmentation persists despite the use of topical treatments and natural remedies, aesthetic medicine can be considered a last resort. The techniques used are quite advanced. This is why cosmetic medicine should not be the first option.

Before resorting to this solution, it is essential to ensure that the cause of the hyperpigmentation is accurately diagnosed and that the most suitable treatment is recommended by a competent health professional. Lasers and chemical peels can be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation, but bear in mind that these treatments can be costly and carry potential risks.
