Posted • Have dark spots that don’t seem to go away? WATCH & READ!

1️⃣ Being impatient & inconsistent.

It can take 12 weeks before you START to see results with fading your hyperpigmentation...and that’s with being consistent!

When I had recurring acne and hyperpigmentation in the past, it took me 9 mos to clear everything up.

2️⃣ Not wearing SPF regularly.

I think sometimes people only think of sunburn when I mention wearing sunscreen. Now as someone who has gone on vacation in the Caribbean with sunscreen on and STILL got burned, it’s a reality of course but many are not thinking about UVA rays—aka aging rays as well as visible light.

UVA rays are the culprit behind about 89% of visible aging on the skin—and yes it *can* crack your black...lol. Not only that but UVA and visible light can worsen pigmentation. Meaning, you’ll be on a hamster wheel trying to get rid of dark spots without wearing sunscreen.

3️⃣ Your spots are older.

Dark spots are easier to treat when they’re “fresh.” The older they are, the more you’ll need to see a skin of color pro for treatment. See my Dark Spots highlight on my page for info on how to find a skin of color pro.

4️⃣ You’re not stopping the cause of your hyperpigmentation.
