If you have brown skin, you’ve probably heard that we’re more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and discoloration. Now add PMOS into the mix.For me, PMOS means acne, acne leads to marks, and insulin resistance brings its own plethora of skin issues. So now I’m not just treating my skin — I’m also trying to cover the hyperpigmentation caused by the breakouts my hormones started in the first place. It's a fun little cycle. I’ve seen the grey foundation, the wrong concealer, the sunscreen cast, the “brightening” products that don’t brighten, and the routines that cost too much for too little. This list is my real-life hyperpigmentation kit: skincare, SPF, colour correctors, base products, and tools that help me manage, protect, cover, and feel a little more put together while dealing with it.
