FAQs

There’s a few serums I like to use to help manage my hyperpigmentation, along with in clinic treatments. The serums can be found here.

I love a facial, along with a sculpting massage. I’d recommend Faydra Skin and Minimal by Hadda in London. They’re both highly skilled professionals who will take care of yor skin.

I’m a huge fan of Hydrafacials, not only are they great value for money due to all of the stages it includes (cleanse, extract and hydrate) - they always leave my skin glowing. However, it’s really important to have a consultation with a qualified professional and go to a qualified professional for this treatment.

I’d recommend Hydrafacial HQ, Pulse Light Clinic, Elan Clinic and YoungLdn.

It’s important to slowly introduce retinol to your skincare routine, starting with patch testing to ensure you aren’t allergic to any of the ingredients.

Then you should use a small amount of retinol as part of your nighttime skincare routine, once or twice a week to start. Be sure not to exfoliate during the same skincare routine, and I like to sandwich with a light moisturiser below and above my retinol layer.

There are many treatment options for hyperpigmentation and I like to use a range of them. Starting with over the counter skincare, this can include serums packed full with tyrosinase inhibitors such as kojic acid, alpha arbutin and tranexamic acid to name a few. Here’s a few of my go to serums, most of which include some of these ingredients!

Then there’s prescription skincare, which will require you seeing a dermatologist - if you can afford to do so in real life I’d really recommend doing so. They also have access to a range of in clinic treatments such as peels and lasers which can also address hyperpigmentation.

Don’t forget the basis of skincare and wearing SPF every day too.

Yes! SPF no longer means crazy white cast - look out for chemical ones to avoid the zinc found in mineral formulas. My go to SPF’s are here
