Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common concerns for people with melanin-rich skin. Often triggered by inflammation, friction, or sun exposure, these dark marks can linger long after the initial irritation fades. At Bellanomi, we believe that consistent care is key. With the right daily ritual, you can help protect your skin’s glow and reduce the chance of discoloration before it begins.
Step 1: Lock in Moisture with Glow Body Oil
When skin is hydrated and supported with nourishing oils, it’s more resilient and less prone to irritation. Our Glow Body Oil was designed to deliver long-lasting hydration while supporting an even skin tone. The formula includes:
-
Marula, Mongongo, Kalahari Melon, and Baobab oils for deep, fast-absorbing moisture
-
Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a gentle but effective form of Vitamin C to brighten and even tone
-
Licorice Root Extract to calm inflammation and reduce the appearance of dark spots
Massage the oil into damp skin after your shower, focusing on areas where friction or dryness is common—such as the underarms, inner thighs, and elbows. This simple step helps strengthen the skin barrier and prevent the inflammation that often leads to discoloration.
Step 2: Protect with SPF
There’s a common misconception that people with darker skin tones don’t need sunscreen. While melanin does offer some natural protection, it’s not enough to prevent the effects of UV exposure—especially when it comes to hyperpigmentation. In fact, sun exposure is one of the main reasons dark spots become more pronounced and take longer to fade.
Daily SPF is essential to protect your skin and preserve its tone. We recommend Black Girl Sunscreen, a clean, fragrance-free formula made specifically for melanin-rich skin. It blends in beautifully without a white cast and includes moisturizing ingredients that pair perfectly with Glow Body Oil.
Apply it generously to all exposed areas—shoulders, chest, arms, and legs—every morning, and reapply as needed throughout the day. Consistent sun protection helps prevent new spots from forming and keeps your skin looking smooth and radiant.
Gentle Habits That Make a Difference
In addition to moisturizing and sun protection, a few everyday habits can help maintain even skin tone:
-
Wear soft, breathable fabrics to reduce friction
-
Avoid harsh scrubs and fragranced products that can trigger irritation
-
Treat inflammation early using calming ingredients like aloe vera or colloidal oatmeal
Your skin will change—and that’s natural. But with daily care and intention, you can support its health, honor its needs, and protect your glow every step of the way.
