How to tackle pigmentation

February 15, 2021

How to tackle pigmentation

As we age and spend more time in the sun (especially after these glorious summer days), pigmentation naturally creeps up on us. Having recently turned 40, it’s something that I have noticed comes easier to me if I’m not careful and has made me more conscious to reduce and prevent it.

In my experience, there are 3 key steps to tackling pigmentation naturally. Here’s how:

  1. Cleanse + Exfoliate

Cleansing helps in 2 ways. Firstly, it helps to gently exfoliate the skin, removing the top layer of skin cells, which in turn encourages the skin to produce new skin cells. Secondly, and this is specific to our Refining Cleanser, it helps to reduce melanin production (the dark pigments in skin that cause pigmentation). This is because our Refining Cleanser contains Bearberry, a botanical that has been shown to inhibit the enzymes needed to produce melanin.

How often should I cleanse?

Cleansing should take place daily. When using the Refining Cleanser, this is best used in combination with a face cloth such as our Organic Bamboo Face Cloth as this further assists the exfoliation process.

What about the 2 in 1 Face Exfoliant + Mask?

This product is fabulous for serious exfoliation and should be used 2-3 times weekly, with particular attention paid to areas of pigmentation.

  1. Nourish + Repair

After cleansing and exfoliating, the next products that hit your skin need to help further reduce melanin production and promote skin cell turnover.

Firstly, spritz with our Ultimate Biome Spritz. This product is packed with vitamin C which has been shown to inhibit melanin production. It also contains ingredients which encourage a healthy microbiome, overall skin health and protect against environmental pollutants.

After spritzing, we recommend applying a few drops of our Repair Face Serum. This beautiful product contains ingredients which have been shown to reduce pigmentation and increase skin cell turnover.

How often should I use these products?

Both the Ultimate Biome Spritz and Repair Face Serum should be applied every morning and evening.

  1. Protect + Prevent

After going to all these efforts to reduce your pigmentation, the next step is to protect your skin and prevent any further damage. In order to do this, you need to apply a product containing SPF as the sun is the most common cause of skin darkening.

I use our Protect + Clarify Daily Face Lotion as it’s a beautiful light weight lotion which protects my skin from the sun, as well as containing ingredients which fight pigmentation.

Our Protect + Clarify Daily Face Lotion contains SPF15 which blocks 93% of UVB rays. This is enough if you are only spending periodic periods in the sun (I spend most of my days in the office and am only out in the sun for maximum 30 minutes per day). When spending longer periods, it’s best to choose an SPF30 or higher.

How often should I apply this product?

Protect + Clarify Daily Face Lotion should be applied every morning.

So just to re-cap, the 5 products I use to tackle pigmentation are:

  1. Refining Cleanser
  2. 2 in 1 Face Exfoliant + Mask
  3. Ultimate Biome Spritz
  4. Repair Face Serum
  5. Protect + Clarify Daily Face Lotion

Using these products should help to reduce any areas of pigmentation and prevent it from reoccurring again.

As a Naturopath I have treated many skin conditions over the years but some of them you see more than others. Eczema and dermatitis are most definitely my number one. And as the weather is cooling, now is the time when flare ups most commonly occur.

Although it can be caused by a multitude of factors, there are lots of ways to reduce eczema occurrence, and sometime eradicate it for good. Here is what I know about eczema and what you can do about it.
