Women with dark and olive complexions may not struggle so much with fine lines and wrinkles -- but the struggle to combat discoloration and acne is real. Jaliman says hyperpigmentation is one of the biggest problems for women with darker complexions.
Hyperpigmentation refers to those pesky dark spots that tend to crop up on the cheekbones or forehead. It's often caused by hormones -- from birth control or pregnancy. But sun damage can also cause (and worsen) hyperpigmentation.
So what can we do about it? New York City dermatologist and creator of BeautyRx Dr. Neal Schultz, MD, says skin care treatments can help. These include daily sun protection and exfoliation (try SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50, $34, and Mario Badescu Glycolic Grapefruit Cleansing Lotion, $18).
