What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition characterized by patches of skin being darker than the rest. It is caused by an increased production of melanin in some areas of the skin. People with olive, brown or dark complexions such as South East Asians, Latinas, African Americans and Africans are more susceptible to hyperpigmentation than those with lighter/pale skin tones.
There are many types of hyperpigmentation and some of them include melasma and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation is brought about by acne scarring. It can appear in individuals of any skin color including those with pale skin tones.
How Can Essential Oils Help Hyperpigmentation?

They have skin brightening and lightening properties that help even out skin tone and make skin glow with radiance. Essential oils also have strong anti-inflammatory properties which make them excellent at healing inflammation. This especially helps with post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
