Why Your Dark Spots Won't Go Away (And How to Finally Fix Them)

In this episode, I break down everything you need to know about hyperpigmentation, including the differences between sunspots, age spots, and melasma, why they develop, and the most effective ways to treat them. We discuss the best brightening ingredients, including hydroquinone, vitamin C, kojic acid, niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and retinoids, plus how to build a skincare routine that helps prevent unwanted pigmentation from returning.

We also cover the pros and cons of IPL, chemical peels, and lasers, how to choose the right sunscreen, and the biggest mistakes people make when trying to fade dark spots. If you're looking for clearer, brighter, and more even-toned skin, this episode is for you.
