June 3 (Punjab Khabarnama) : Looking for steps or seeking professional guidance to achieve a clearer, more even-toned complexion? In an interview with Zarafshan Shiraz of HT Lifestyle, D. Charu Sharma, Co-Founder and Director of Dermatology at Cureskin, recommended 4 tips to manage skin pigmentation and acne breakouts
1. Gentle cleansing is crucial. This removes dirt and excess oil without stripping your skin’s natural barrier.
2. Regular exfoliation is essential. It helps clear away dead skin cells that can clog pores and contribute to breakouts.
3. Target pigmentation and promote cell turnover. Look for ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and retinoids in your skincare products. These can help fade dark spots and encourage a smoother, brighter complexion.
4. Resist the urge to pick or pop pimples! This can lead to scarring and worsen inflammation.
5. Sun protection is non-negotiable. Daily sunscreen use with SPF 30 or higher is vital to prevent UV rays from darkening pigmentation.
