Your Personalized Overview

Your skin profile is a combination of acne and potential discoloration. Below are some of the keys to your skin:

Lighter Pigmented Skin - more likely to find yourself with a dark mark, or what's referred to as Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) after acne heals. Always wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 if you'll be exposed to the sun.

Control Acne First - before tackling dark marks, it's important to treat the underlying acne first so new marks can't appear. A combination of regular facials, diet shifts, and lifestyle changes can help make a big difference.

Exfoliation - proper exfoliation can be largely beneficial to your skin type. We generally don't recommend mechanical exfoliation; instead, opt for products with ingredients such as Lactic Acid or Azelaic Acid.

Patience - 85% of your peers at your age will experience acne at some point. Your hormones are generally still in flux which can lead to blemishes, but changing various lifestyle and dietary habits can help stabilize these shifts.

Things That May Affect Your Skin

Blemishes

If you have acne blemishes, you might notice red marks when they heal. This is known as PIH, or Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. Treating the existing acne is essential, as well as wearing sunscreen to avoid dark marks from getting worse. A consistent exfoliating skincare routine can also help cellular turnover, which can help marks fade faster.

Ethnicity

Your ethnicity makes you more prone to discoloration in the skin, given your skin tone. Be diligent about your skincare routine, and always make sure to wear SPF when you'll be exposed to the sun. If you are of African decent, be careful about using lightening products, as they may actually make discoloration worse.
