Why do I have spots on my face?
Sometimes you look in the mirror and notice blemishes that just don't seem to go away. Some appear after a breakout, others after sun exposure, irritation, or simply with age.
Many black, dark, and mixed-race skin types mark more easily when they experience inflammation or external aggressions. A simple pimple can leave a dark mark for several weeks, or even several months.
Why does skin mark more easily?
When a pimple, irritation, or inflammation appears, the skin naturally produces more melanin to protect itself. This is known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation—a natural mechanism, not a flaw.
Main causes of blemishes
- Sun exposure: UV rays darken already marked areas and slow their fading
- Pimples and inflammation: every blemish can leave a dark mark
- Stress and fatigue: they unbalance the skin and make it more reactive
- Unsuitable products: too aggressive, they weaken the skin barrier
- Repeated friction: can cause friction hyperpigmentation
- Time: some blemishes appear naturally with age
The mistake to avoid
Using overly aggressive products thinking it will speed up results is counterproductive. Skin primarily needs gentleness, hydration, and consistency.
How to help your skin achieve more uniformity?
- Adopt a gentle and hydrating routine adapted to your skin tone
- Apply daily sun protection to prevent blemishes from worsening
- Avoid touching or picking at blemishes
- Be patient and consistent: results take time
