Have you ever heard the phrase “Exogenous ochronosis” mentioned & wondered what on earth it is? Let me break down this really interesting skin phenomenon that some of us can experience.
Exogenous ochronosis is a skin condition caused by long-term use of certain skin-lightening creams, especially those containing hydroquinone. It leads to bluish-black or gray-brown discoloration. This discoloration typically appears on our face and is difficult to treat once it develops.
Luckily, with the right natural ingredients, we can start to address this if it has developed on our face.
We want to start incorporating things that support overall skin healing and pigment regulation. They are especially powerful if we can additionally use them in conjunction with better topical practices like avoiding hydroquinone and using SPF daily.
Here's what helps most:
Amla Fruit Powder
Rich in natural vitamin C and antioxidants, it helps reduce oxidative stress in the skin, which is important in preventing abnormal pigment formation.
Grapeseed Extract
This potent antioxidant supports collagen and protects skin from free radical damage. This is wonderful for helping to reduce pigmentation and even out your skin tone.
Hyaluronic Acid
This keeps the skin barrier strong and hydrated, making our skin less reactive to damage and improving healing after inflammation.
Lustriva
This clinically tested and proven ingredient promotes skin elasticity, collagen support, helping ot also enhance nutrient delivery to skin cells. These are crucial to assist our skin with overall resilience and recovery.
Polypodium Leucotomos Leaf
Clinically studied for reducing UV-induced pigmentation and skin damage. This little fern like plant helps prevent hyperpigmentation from sun exposure, which is a key risk factor in ochronosis development.
Licorice Root Extract
Known for its brightening and anti-inflammatory effects. This root inhibits tyrosinase (an enzyme involved in melanin production), helping reduce stubborn pigmentation.
Dragon’s Blood Powder
Helps with skin repair and inflammation control. Its antioxidant and wound-healing properties support recovery from skin trauma.
Vitamin C
Essential for collagen production and antioxidant protection. It also reduces melanin formation, helping to greatly lighten discoloration.
