Stop guessing your way through skincare. Here is how to manage hyperpigmentation, razor bumps, and UV protection with a routine that actually works for your skin.
Key takeaways
- Melanin-rich skin is highly reactive to inflammation, making gentle care essential to prevent dark spots.
- Razor bumps are best managed by shaving with the grain and using chemical exfoliants rather than harsh physical scrubs.
- Daily SPF is non-negotiable for all skin tones to prevent skin cancer and stop dark spots from deepening.
- Professional treatments like lasers are safe if the practitioner uses customized settings rather than standard protocols.
