How to heal all 7 types of hyperpigmentation naturally

Ever noticed your skin tone is not appearing as even as you would like due to different darkened patches? Here are the most common types of hyperpigmentation that we can all develop & how to naturally & effectively fade them without causing further discolouration.

The Types of Hyperpigmentation

1. Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Flat brown or dark marks that appear after irritation or injury. They are caused by an overproduction of melanin as the skin heals and are common on both our face and body.

2. Post-Inflammatory Erythema (PIE)
Pink or red marks that linger after acne. These are linked to dilated blood vessels beneath the skin rather than pigment overproduction.

3. Melasma (Hormonal Hyperpigmentation)
Brown or greyish patches, often on the cheeks, forehead, or upper lip. This kind of pigmentation is triggered by hormonal shifts, pregnancy, or the pill, and it can be worsened by heat and UV exposure.

4. Sunspots (Solar Lentigines)
Flat brown patches caused by cumulative sun exposure. They usually appear on the high points of the face, chest, and hands as the skin ages.

5. Post-Acne Dark Marks
A blend of PIH and PIE. These marks can look brown, red, or purple and remain long after pimples heal. They result from inflammation and disrupted cell turnover.

6. Uneven Skin Tone
A dull, patchy complexion where some areas appear darker or lighter than others. Interestingly, it is often caused by environmental stress, dehydration, and uneven cell renewal. It is not always tied to breakouts or sun exposure.

7. Body Hyperpigmentation
Darkened or uneven patches that form on areas like the chest, back, underarms, and inner thighs. Usually linked to friction, heat, or hormonal triggers and can be more stubborn due to thicker skin.

Now here is our strategy for healing & fading the hyperpigmentation.

We want to nourish the skin deeply from within, as this gives us the most effective solution that not only helps fade the dark spots, but also helps to make our skin more resilient.

First up! Reduce inflammation & oxidative stress

Incorporating Amla Fruit & Vitamin C is an epic way to help brighten, even out skin tone, and reduce melanin overproduction from acne or sun exposure. Pair this with Grapeseed Extract to help strengthen capillaries and reduce UV-induced pigmentation while protecting against new unevenness. Together, they calm inflammation and fade both facial and body pigmentation.

Then we want to support our skin barrier & cell renewal

Incorporating Lustriva is perfect to help enhance collagen production and circulation to speed up cell turnover. With the addition of collagen Peptides, we are helping rebuild firmness and texture, making tone look smoother and more even. This helps fade post-acne marks and uneven tone faster while keeping the skin resilient.

Moving onto hydrating & brightening from within

A combination of Hyaluronic Acid & Sodium Hyaluronate is ideal to help deeply hydrate and plump skin, improving light reflection for a more luminous, even finish. Hydration refines texture and reduces dullness that exaggerates uneven tone.

Another important factor is to balance internal & gut health

Incorporating a probiotic blend is a powerful way to help reduce systemic inflammation, regulate hormones, and support skin healing. Better gut health = calm skin = fewer new spots or flare-ups contributing to uneven tone.

Finally, we should aim to protect against UV & environmental triggers

Powering up on antioxidants helps to build an internal UV shield and supports the skin’s natural repair process. This is essential for preventing recurring sunspots and melasma.

One of the most convenient ways to tackle all of these angles is to incorporate the Perfect Skin Kit, as it helps fade every form of hyperpigmentation, from post-acne dark marks and uneven skin tone to body dark spots and sun damage. It does this by treating the root causes from within.
It works to:
✨ Calm inflammation (PIH, PIE, post-acne marks)
✨ Regulate melanin production (melasma, sunspots, body pigmentation)
✨ Boost renewal (to fade uneven tone faster)
✨ Improve hydration & elasticity (so skin looks naturally radiant)
