Follow to protect your melanin rich skin- love Dr V x #hyperpigmentation #darkmarks

Follow for melanin-rich skincare science 🔬 Black & brown girls, we age differently on holiday, not slower. Heat, flights and sun hit melanin-rich skin in ways no one warns us about, and the damage shows up as pigmentation weeks later. So here are the 7 changes I make every summer 👇 1.Mineral SPF over chemical. Anti-inflammatory and safe in pregnancy. I use Inzincable SPF50 2. Caps, non-negotiable 3.Hydrating mask on the flight 4. Richer moisturiser with ceramides, peptides and liquorice root. Our Cera Pep Brightening Moisturiser does all three 5. Hydrate from the inside. Urine should be pale, not dark SPF50 on your lips. They hyperpigment first. Lipzinc SPF50 protects and adds colour 6. Pause acids and retinols until you're home Save this before your next trip, and send it to the friend who burns her lips every holiday 🤍 I'm Dr Vanita Rattan, the world's only doctor and cosmetic formulator for Black & brown skin, with my own lab dedicated to melanin-rich skin.
