The GlowGetters Guide

So you have your skincare routine: your old reliables, your most-loved, your new-and-excitings, your I’m-never-buying-something-from-TikTok-agains. Maybe you have a few splurges in your arsenal, a couple of sheet face masks, a special something that you only break out for an occasion. The point is, even if you have the perfect skincare routine for you, and even room for a little experimentation, we’re always learning and growing when it comes to something as important as making...

Hyperpigmentation. Dark spots. Melasma. Liver spots. Sunspots. There are so many names for the unwanted darker areas that may creep up on your skin. But, no matter what you call them, chances are you want them gone and to prevent any more from forming.

Knowing when and how frequently you should wash your face is tricky. Partially because there are so many opinions circulating the internet that it’s difficult to just get a clear answer. If washing your face was like washing your hands, you’d likely have a clear set of rules: wash frequently and thoroughly, before and after mealtimes, or after being in a crowd, after using the bathroom, and since 2020, probably twice that!

If you struggle with hyperpigmentation or melasma, particularly on your face, you may feel like you’ve tried everything under the sun to reduce the appearance of these dark marks. It can be incredibly frustrating to feel like you’re doing the same things as everybody else to take care of your skin…yet you still can’t escape from these self-esteem-busting shadows over all of your hard work.

Combination skin types can be one of the most difficult to find a good skincare regimen for. Your dry-skinned peers need only look up highly moisturizing lotions, and your oily friends can look to ranges meant to dry them out.
