Medium to dark skin tones
Why are dark skin types particularly subject to skin spots?
While dark skin types boast higher resistance to sunlight and cutaneous aging than fair skin, pigmentation spots are a major problem. In fact, melanin production is disturbed by all types of inflammations affecting the skin, from a simple blemish to extensive outbreaks ranging from acne to melasma. These disturbances lead to a transient increase in melanin production - referred to as post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation, - which is not very visible on white skin but highly apparent on dark skin given its propensity to cause unsightly-looking dark spots.
