✨ What’s Making Your Dark Spots Worse (Even When You’re Treating Them) ✨
PIH doesn’t just appear… it’s almost always triggered by inflammation and these common habits make it linger even longer.
Here’s what’s secretly keeping your pigment from fading:
❌ Picking Pimples
Every squeeze = more inflammation → more pigment.
❌ Harsh Exfoliation
Scrubs, rough brushes, and over-exfoliating damage your barrier and trigger MORE melanin.
❌ Fragrance Products
Perfume, scented lotions, body sprays… all can irritate melanated skin and deepen PIH.
❌ Heat Exposure
Saunas, hot yoga, cooking over a stove, hot showers, heat activates melanocytes just like UV does.
❌ Sun Exposure
Even a little sun can darken PIH instantly if SPF isn’t applied daily.
❌ Wrong Acne Products
Harsh benzoyl peroxide, high-strength acids, or stripping cleansers can inflame the skin → which leads straight to pigment.
🌟 The truth:
You can use all the brightening serums in the world, but if you keep inflaming your skin… the dark spots will keep coming back.
