Having an even, radiant complexion is something that every woman needs to feel good about herself and have confidence in herself! However, black, dark and brown skin often needs special attention to achieve a more even complexion. What are the reasons for uneven skin pigmentation? What products are best suited to the problem? What techniques are effective in helping you achieve a flawless, even complexion?
Causes of uneven skin tone
Many factors contribute to uneven skin tone. Here are some of the most common reasons:
Hyperpigmentation
Black, dark and mixed skin tones tend to produce more melanin, resulting in hyperpigmentation. This hyperpigmentation can lead to uneven skin tone due to dark spots, brown spots or scarring.
Exposure to the sun
Ultraviolet rays can exacerbate hyperpigmentation and skin discolouration. Adequate sun protection is essential to prevent this damage.
Skin problems
Certain skin problems, such as acne, eczema or dermatitis, can lead to the appearance of marks and scars, making skin tone uneven.
Which skincare product will even out my complexion?
When you want to even out your complexion, it's essential to choose products suited to your skin type. Here are a few recommendations:
Antioxydants
Antioxidants, such as vitamin E or liquorice extract, can help reduce the damage caused by free radicals and improve skin clarity.
Moisturisers
Proper hydration is essential for healthy, even skin. Choose non-comedogenic moisturisers rich in hydrating ingredients such as glycerine, argan oil and sweet almond.
Gentle lighteners
Look for products containing gentle lightening ingredients such as arbutin, vitamin C or plant extracts. They can help reduce dark spots and evenly lighten the complexion.
QEI+ has developed lightening creams and lightening gel-creams to help reduce pigmentation spots and even out skin tone.
Lightening creams have a richer, more emollient texture than gels, thanks to their higher fat content. As a result, the cream has a nourishing, protective and softening action on the skin. It combats pigmentation spots and brightens dark areas. It rehydrates the upper layers of the epidermis and is particularly effective on dehydrated skin, especially during the winter months.
The gel-cream, with its lighter texture, is easy to apply and doesn't leave a greasy film, acting on pimples and blackheads. However, its formula provides excellent hydration. Day after day, pimples fade, skin looks clearer and feels more comfortable.
How do I apply the lightening cream and gel-cream?
The night is the ideal time to "repair" our skin. It is also the time when cell multiplication activity is at its most intense and when the penetration capacity of active ingredients is at its maximum.
In the evening, after thoroughly cleansing your face and removing any remaining impurities with the toning lotion, apply the cream and cream gel. You should also remember to exfoliate your skin once or twice a week.
1. Take a dab of cream
2. Add a dab of gel
3. Mix attention on dark areas
4. Massage until completely absorbed, paying particular
