But, with the help of a few natural home remedies, you can fade those embarrassing marks on your face. Firstly, what is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation?
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is an increase in skin pigmentation or skin darkening as a result your skin healing itself, and in the process, over producing a chemical called "melanin". Melanin is responsible for skin color or pigmentation.
So how to get rid of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation?
1 - Hydrate yourself by drinking plenty of water. Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. A good diet will definitely help in healing hyperpigmentation scars. Use a good sunscreen at all times.
2 - Natural home remedies are a great way to lighten the skin. Lemon juice, potato peel, lime juice and yogurt-honey face packs will lighten the hyperpigmentation. These remedies are all natural bleaching agents and will all help. Remember to persevere, as they may take some time.
3 - If home remedies do not work, you can try topical creams that can help fade dark spots. Hydroquinone skin lightening creams do work, but there has been some concern as to the side effects. Try a natural hyperpigmentation cream for good results.
4 - If these treatments don't work, microdermabrasion is a less invasive procedure that may be considered for treating hyperpigmentation.
Remember that results will vary for different individuals depending upon your skin type and how bad the hyperpigmentation is. Natural treatments are always a great starting point and are very effective in fading hyperpigmentation scars.
