So many people lack confidence and feel embarrassed about their skin due to hyperpigmentation and scarring. It's a great shame as something can be done about this. Most people feel that the only solution is to cover up their skin and feel safe knowing that it will reduce exposure and stop others noticing. 

Well, it does not have to be that way. You should not feel the need to hide your beautiful face or body because of a few stubborn dark spots, patches or acne scars.

There are some excellent home skincare treatments that have been specially formulated to clear hyperpigmented and sun damaged skin with positive results seen in 3-4 weeks in most cases. Learn about these treatments, try them and you can really boost your confidence and show off your radiant, clear and even-toned skin.

These pigment correcting products contain powerful active ingredients that have been proven to fade or lighten the dark patches or scars on your skin. They can be found in topical cream, serums or gels and even dedicated dietary food supplements such as Nutrifade.

Two of the most effective ingredients are Arbutin and Kojic acid. Arbutin has an increasing amount of research confirming it's effectiveness for brightening an uneven skin tone.

Kojic acid works to prevent the production of melanin in your skin. Melanin is the substance that gives your skin it's pigment, so the more you have, the darker your skin will be. Age spots, dark marks, sun spots and patches related to melasma and hyperpigmentation generally contain more melanin than the uneffected areas of the skin.

There are other great ingredients too such as: Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Pycnogenol, Licorice Extract, Mulberry Extract, Niacinamide and more. All are have been shown to safely help combat patchy, uneven skin tone.

It is most important though that the ingredients in these treatments are effective and safe to use for long term. You shouldn't rush when choosing the right products to apply on your skin. Remember it is a good idea to test out your favourite products first. You also have to maintain a good skin care routine. (cleanse, exfoliate, moisturise, protect).

Some products may have to be used with sunscreen to have optimum effect and to protect your skin. Choose a sun protection that has at least SPF 30 or more.

Hyperpigmentation can cause a low self-esteem and great insecurity. It is time for you to stand up to this and do something about it! Treating hyperpigmentation or other related problem areas of your skin can give your confidence a huge boost. You will feel and look great and be ready to take on each new day with a renewed sense of well-being and greatness.
