FADE DARK SPOTS FAST! 😲 Brown Spots, Discolouration And Hyperpigmentation ✖ James Welsh

  • Today I want to talk about dark spots and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation….specifically this old thing on my cheek, and how I’ve managed to fade it quite significantly in the last couple of weeks!
    If you follow me on instagram, you would’ve seen some of m y journey with this aggressive under the skin spot that….i picked. I aggravated the inflammation further and its left me with a nasty dark spot.
    So before I get into what I’ve been doing, less talk a bit about post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
    Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, that I’m going to refer to as PIH from now on, occurs after injury and as the name suggests, after the skin has been inflamed,
    This triggers melanin-producing cells (whose name I can’t pronounce, to release excessive pigment, leading to a darkening of the inflamed / injured skin and can remain on the skin from anything between 3 - 24 months, depending on factors like skin colour and the type of injury or inflammation.
    The most common type of inflammation we see on our own skin is of course spots and acne. Especially when we pick at the spots, and aggravating the inflammation further!
    These often leave dark flat spots on our skin that often appear dark brown or grey.
    PIH isn’t dangerous in anyway and doesn’t need curing or fixing as it does eventually go away on its own, again in the space of 3-24 months. So you can just leave it alone and it will eventually go.
    However, if like me, you’ve picked a nasty spot and you don’t quite think the massive dark spot on your cheeks suits you….or your career is based on that state of your skin, there are certain things you can do to speed up the process of removing the PIH.
    You can of course go to a dermatologist and get a chemical peel, I had a mild one before this dark spot and found it to be very effective. And a course of laser treatments will help to speed up the process…HOWEVER….who has the money?! Not me.
    So i hope this video can shed sopme light on how you can fade, get rid of and reduce the appearance of dark spots, acne scaring and pigmentation FAST!

    My problem is when my acne scars start to fade, a new pimple will pop on the same spot! So that will become a new acne scar 😩 it never ends
    Update: my skin is getting better, tho i still get hormonal breakouts 😒 1-2 angry pimple. Morning routine is wash with water only, no cleanser (but i make sure i wash all the nasties at night) Then apply hydrating toner, BHA and Klair's midnight Cream (holy grail!). at night i just add a cleanser in my routine, then same routine. When going out i just swap the BHA to an anti aging serum to make my skin plump. Hope this helps someone going through a bad breakout. We can do this! 👊

      I fade dark spots in 2-3 weeks for ~$25 for a few months supply. I get alpha arbutin, niacinamide + zinc, and the azaleic acid lotion from the Ordinary, and I use it every evening on my entire face.
      It used to take months for a new dark spot to fade, and my darker skin tone means hyperpigmentation comes easily, so these products have definitely made a difference for me :)

    Just what I needed!!! Been dealing with a sudden outbreak of acne on my cheeks for the past few months. I wanted to get The Ordinary's Niacinamide but I think Arbutin and Transzemic Acid is more suitable for me.
    5% Benzoyl Peroxide has been tackling my angry pimples really well. I feel like my skin is very stubborn. I have a PHA mixed with niacinamide but it hasn't been responding to the product at all. I recently put The Ordinary 10% Lactic Acid in and it made a huge difference. Did not have any bad reaction to it even though it is a higher concentrate. I might try not mixing the PHA right after or use it in the morning only.
    I'm still on the hunt for a good cleanser though. Currently using Innisfree Olive Cleanser, it isn't heavy but maybe not suitable for my skin. I want something slightly stronger 😂
    Edit: have used Some By Mi cica spot treatment and Cosrx aha and bha toner which didn't do alot for me. Exfoilate twice a week with The Cure.
