How To Take Care Of Your Skin Colour? - Dr Marwah's Clinic

Taking care of the skin is very essential,
especially as the summers are setting in with
full force. When the sun strikes, even the best
of skins tend to start getting damaged. This
makes it even more important to take care of your
skin during the summers. One very essential
element that you need to consider while thinking
about skin care is your skin tone. Deeper skin
tones require special attention as they have
specific needs compared to lighter skin tones.
After all, it is your skin that depicts your
overall health.
For those with ageing skin, more care and concern
is required, as ageing skin brings with it fine
lines and wrinkles. Then, there could be skin
pigmentation issues, wherein the skin may have
attained freckles, dark spots, dark patches, acne
marks, melasma, and many other such pigmentation
issues over time. The reason why these
pigmentation issues arise is that the colour
generating element in the skin, melanin,
increases significantly in amount, thus
darkening the skin tone. This problem increases
during the summers because the sun is in full
force. The UV rays of the sun boost up the levels
of producing melanin within the body, which is
why the skin starts appearing darker during
summers. This is why it is suggested that you
avoid overexposure to the sun if you are
suffering from any kinds of skin and
pigmentation issues. In addition to the above,
darker skin tones are more likely to experience
additional problems like uneven skin tone,
stubborn marks, ingrown hair, and much more.
Understanding the various problems that darker
skin tone people experience, we have listed
below the most common problems faced by such
people, and how to deal with them.

Sun damage As mentioned above, the sun is one of
the major causes of skin pigmentation. Constant
exposure to the sun leads to invisible
inflammation, and lots of ageing side-effects.
And, if the inflammation is chronic, it may also
lead to skin cancer! Thus, you are always advised
to use a good sunscreen before leaving for the
outdoors during the day. Dehydration The skin
becomes dehydrated when the upper layer lacks
water. Using harsh soaps can only aggravate the
condition as they strip the skins barrier of
moisture and natural oils. You should thus avoid
using such soaps, and switch to gentle cleansers
instead. Avoid over- exfoliation, and use rich
moisturizers with hydrating ingredients in
them. Oiliness Excess oil production is another
skin problem. If you have oily skin, you are
suggested to wash your face with soap-free
products regularly to avoid over-cleansing and
stripping your skin. Proper cleansers are
helpful after which you can follow with a gentle
non- stripping toner and water-based moisturizer
to rebalance your natural moisture
barrier. Discolouration Age spots and dark
patches are other problems experienced by people
with dark skin, which gives them an uneven
complexion. To avoid this, people must use a
broad-spectrum sunscreen and skin-refining
ingredients. Adding non-irritating alpha or beta
hydroxyl acids (AHA,BHA) to the daily regimen
can improve and even out the skin tone.
Brightening serums can fade blemishes and
discolouration. Dark spots Dark spots can be
seen after an inflammatory lesion from acne or
bug bites. It is almost impossible to avoid
them, but it wont darken up by using a
broad-spectrum sunscreen. When the above
problems are very basic for your skin, you can
use the suggested remedies to resolve them. You
can also include Vitamin C, AHA, BHA,
antioxidants, and ceramides into your skincare
regimens to improve the texture of your skin,
even out complexion, and encourage cell growth
and regeneration. However, these remedies will
only work if your skin is damaged up to a
certain extent after which professional help is
the only solution. To treat major skin
pigmentation problems, you will need to opt for
