HOW TO TREAT DARK SPOTS ON BROWN SKIN?

  Laila Mkimer - maroccan co-founder In'Oya  

The appearance of brown spots on brown skin is a very common problem. Darker in color than the skin's natural tone, they are considered unsightly and can be a source of daily discomfort.

Present on the body and/or face, they appear following unprotected sun exposureskin inflammation (acne pimples, eczema, repeated rubbing, etc.) or hormonal changes (stress, pregnancy, taking birth control, etc.).

Between the anti-spot products of generalist brands and those that are specific to pigmented skin, it is sometimes difficult to know who to trust!

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE BROWN SKIN? 

Most commonly, brown skin is associated with the color of the complexion. It refers to the olive complexion, a naturally warm color called "exotic", Mediterranean shades.  It can vary from a pale (fairly light) to a very dark complexion, which makes it difficult to categorize "brown skin" today.

Geographically, brown skin can be associated with an ethnic origin. It is most often associated with North African, Indian, Middle Eastern or Spanish skin.

In scientific terms, brown skin is defined by its pigmentation. The color of the skin is determined according to the melanin that is present. Brown skin contains a more or less balanced mixture of eumelanin (melanin with brown pigment) and pheomelanin (melanin with light pigment), which gives it a natural glow. It corresponds to phototype 4 of Fitzpatrick's classification, which attests to the fact that matte skin tans easily and that it has little risk of burning (sunburn). 

WHY IS IN'OYA A SPECIALIST IN BROWN SKIN?

Who better to understand the brown-skinned woman than yourself?

Her message is explicit:

"For me, the IN'OYA adventure is an opportunity to address women with brown skin, like mine, and all black, brown and mixed-race women everywhere in the world."

In collaboration with various research centers in France, the expertise of IN'OYA Laboratory is defined according to these objectives

  • To specifically study brown & black skins
  • Understand skin problems (hyperpigmentation spots, acne, eczema, etc.)
  • Propose safe and effective dermocosmetic treatments that take into account the characteristics and needs of brown, black and mixed-race skin.

 3 EFFECTIVE ANTI-DARK SPOT ROUTINES FOR BROWN SKIN

In brown skin, the appearance of hyperpigmentation spots is one of the first reasons for consulting a dermatologist. To meet this need, the IN'OYA Laboratory has developed a range of anti-spot products called MEL'OYA ®.

Whether your spots are caused by the sun, hormones or post-inflammatory factors, it is possible to put an end to them!

To achieve this, you need patience, discipline and above all a good dermo-cosmetic routine to be adapted according to the location of the brown spots (face, eye contour or body)

 

1. STOP DARK SPOTS ON THE FACE!

To effectively treat brown spots on the face of brown skin, you must :

  • Use an anti-spot treatment for brown skin

Thanks to its patented MEL'OYA ® technology, My Correcting Serum guarantees clinically proven effectiveness after 28 days of use for spots that have been present for less than 3 years. If they are older, they will disappear within 2 to 3 months. To do this, apply My Anti-Spot Serum every night to cleansed skin. Take a photo on D0 and D28 to analyze its effectiveness. 

  • Exfoliate brown skin regularly

Once or twice a week, deep clean your brown skin with My Gel Cleanser Exfoliating Scrubbing. Composed of bamboo microbeads, jojoba and salicylic acid, it is applied as a mechanical scrub or peel. It eliminates dead hyperpigmented skin and boosts cell renewal. Thanks to its actions, it boosts the anti-spot treatment.

  • Apply a unifying treatment for brown skin

A unifying treatment helps eliminate dark spots. The IN'OYA Unifying Skin Care products also have the patented MEL'OYA ® Anti-Spot technology. Applied in the morning to cleansed skin, they even out skin tone for an even and radiant brown skin.

However, in order to choose your Unifying Care, you need to know your skin type. Indeed, composed of a double technology of active ingredients, My Corrector Unifying Matifying is a matifying care for matte and combination to oily skin. It regulates the excess of sebum and eliminates the brightness of the face. On the other hand, My Corrector Unifying Moisturing is a hydrating and nourishing care for brown and normal to dry skin.  

2. SAY GOODBYE TO DARK SPOTS ON THE BODY!

Just like for the face, to put an end to dark spots on the body on brown skin, the combination of an anti-spot treatment and an exfoliating treatment for brown skin is essential.

Applying a unifying body care product for brown skin will allow you to obtain a complete anti-spot body care routine. Indeed, My Body Milk Unifying Moisturizing helps fade pigmentation spots on the body thanks to MEL'OYA ® patented active ingredients. However, thanks to its double formulation of active ingredients, it moisturizes and nourishes the skin for 24 hours after its application. Therefore, it acts on the unification of the complexion and the cutaneous dryness.

3. GOODBYE DARK CIRCLES! HELLO, RADIANT EYES!

It is possible to see dark circles around the eyes on brown skin. This is a pigmentary dark circle and is treated like a hyperpigmentation spot.

Be careful, as the eye contour is a specific area, an anti-spot routine must be dedicated to it to respect its sensitivity.

To make dark circles around the eyes disappear, apply My Eye Contour 3-in-1 Anti-Dark Spot, ADark Circle, Puffiness morning and night. Studied and designed for brown, black and mixed-race skin, it eliminates 85% of hyperpigmentation spots (dark circles) and evens out the eye contour area by 90%. It has a 100% skin and ophthalmological tolerance, thus limiting the appearance of tightness or stinging. These results are demonstrated in Fadia's testimony!

 

UNIFY THE MATTE COMPLEXION WITH AN ANTI-DARK SPOT FOOD SUPPLEMENT

Nutricosmetics is clear on this subject: combine a food supplement with a cosmetic routine and it will boost its effectiveness! This new IN & OUT treatment allows to target more actively a skin problematic and to act as well from the inside as from the outside on this one.

Thanks to the MEL'OYA ® CAP'S technology, Mon Diatery Supplements Unifying & Radiant Complexion allows in one capsule per day under an ideal cure of 3 months, to treat effectively the brown spots on brown skin of the face and body.

This dietary supplement for dark skin should therefore be combined with a dermo-cosmetic routine to obtain optimal results on your pigmentation spots.
