Melanin-rich skin has many strengths, but it can also be more prone to visible dark marks after irritation, blemishes or sun exposure. This is because the skin may produce more pigment as a response to inflammation.
Dark spots on deeper skin tones can appear after acne, shaving, friction, sun exposure or harsh skincare products. The key is to treat the skin gently and avoid aggressive routines.
A brightening serum can help improve the appearance of uneven tone, but sunscreen remains essential. Even deeper skin tones need daily protection to help prevent existing marks from looking darker.
