@dermatologysurgeon: How to treat body hyperpigmentation like a dermatologist. Body hyperpigmentation is really common, especially in people with deeper skintones. Here’s how to help it fade away faster: 1. Use a gentle exfoliating cleanser as a body wash 3-4x per week. I love Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating SA cleanser which contains exfoliating acids, like mandelic acid, which are especially helpful for brightening skin tone. ( I worked with Cetaphil on the launch of this product and trust the science & their products). 2. Apply a retinol body lotion nightly. Retinol helps to turnover skin cells and is great for fading dark marks. Try Versed Press Restart Advanced Retinol Body Butter which is really hydrating and perfect for dry skin. 3. Wear sunscreen daily on any exposed skin. I recommend tinted sunscreen for body hyperpigmentation because it contains iron oxides, which block visible light (a major driver for dark marks), and it also helps camouflage marks. Colorescience Sunforgettable Body Shield Bronze SPF50 is one of the best I’ve used. You can also use any facial tinted sunscreen on your body, too.
