Acne scars. Freckles. Melasma.<\/p>\n
Those dark spots are discoloring your skin.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re tired of piling on makeup<\/a> and fretting in the mirror, let\u2019s do something about it.<\/p>\n Today, we\u2019ll review the best face masks for hyperpigmentation.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll discover which ingredients fade discoloration and brighten skin tone.<\/p>\n Although masks don\u2019t work as quickly as some treatments, they are gentler to your face.<\/p>\n Most have additional benefits like exfoliation, unclogging pores, or reducing wrinkles.<\/p>\n Contents<\/p> As you shop for face masks to erase dark spots, you should know a few things first.<\/p>\n You need one that will lighten your skin and exfoliate for the best results (1<\/a>).<\/p>\n These two actions will produce a radiant complexion over time.<\/p>\n Hydroquinone is the gold standard for treating hyperpigmentation.<\/p>\n It works better than anything else science has discovered so far.<\/p>\n If you visit with a dermatologist about hyperpigmentation, they might prescribe a cream for you to use. It will be stronger than the over-the-counter version.<\/p>\n It\u2019s likely to take a few weeks to make a visible difference, but it almost always works (2<\/a>).<\/p>\n It doesn\u2019t just make the hyperpigmentation less visible; it also prevents melanin from causing new dark spots.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, hydroquinone is not approved as \u201csafe and effective\u201d by the FDA yet (3<\/a>). It\u2019s also banned in Europe and some parts of Asia.<\/p>\n The problem is that the misuse of hydroquinone has serious consequences. It may also worsen discoloration in dark skin tones.<\/p>\n If those facts put you off hydroquinone, look for kojic acid instead (4<\/a>).<\/p>\n Or use a product with bearberry, also known as arbutin. Both act similarly to hydroquinone (5<\/a>).<\/p>\n Licorice root also diminishes discoloration, and Vitamin C can prevent new spots from forming (6<\/a>).<\/p>\n Next, look for masks that exfoliate.<\/p>\n If they remove dead, discolored skin and speed up cellular renewal, your complexion will improve more promptly.<\/p>\n Ingredients like these include alpha-hydroxy acids like lactic and glycolic acid or salicylic acid<\/a>, a beta-hydroxy acid.<\/p>\n Sometimes these are described as sugarcane extract or fruit juice enzymes.<\/p>\n Retinol is another good option for resurfacing and rejuvenating your skin.<\/p>\n If you don\u2019t have time to read the complete article, here are our top picks.<\/p>\n\nWhich face mask is best for dark spots?<\/span><\/h2>\n
