Peels: Moonstone’s #1 Way to Treat Hyperpigmentation This Fall

Struggling with post-summer hyperpigmentation this Fall? You’re far from alone! 

Affecting approximately five million people in the United States alone, hyperpigmentation commonly rears its stubborn head in the forms of:

Melasma: hormone-triggered hyperpigmentation on the stomach or face, typically caused by hormonal changes due to pregnancy.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: a side-effect of trauma to the skin or inflammation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation often comes in the wake of acne, scarring, and some medications.

Sun spots: A.K.A “liver spots”, sun spots are the result of sun exposure over time and pop up frequently on the hands and face.

Here at Moonstone Skin & Body Care, I cannot recommend peels enough this Fall for safe and effective hyperpigmentation treatment— especially if you belong to one of the populations who are up to 40% more likely to have hyperpigmentation over your lifetime!

Whether you live here in Novato, California or elsewhere around the globe, keep reading to hear what Moonstone recommends (and doesn’t recommend) in terms of keeping your skin bright all autumn long!
