Hyperpigmentation happens when melanin is produced in excess in certain spots on the skin.
Due to this, dark or light brown to black spots appear on skin, which can vary in size and shape.
These spots can be caused due to age, acne or exposure to sun.
Although there are many home made remedies like lemon, baking soda, among many others, these can be harmful for skin in the long run. The pH of lemon is very low, which means it is acidic. Even though lemon is rich in Vitamin C, its acidic nature harms the skin. Baking powder too is very harsh for skin even though it gives some short term results.
Your skin needs something gentle. This is why it’s best to use tested and proven products on your skin. Here are some products known for reducing blemishes, dark spots and give you a healthy glow without causing any damage:
