The challenges of ethnic skins

Understanding Ethnic Skin Pigmentation

Ethnic skin types , including black , dark caramel , mixed , and somewhat light skin, have unique characteristics that influence their response to pigmentation. Darker skin tones contain more melanin , which can offer some protection against sun damage. However, they are also more prone to hyperpigmentation issues, where areas of the skin become darker than others.

Dark caramel and dark mixed skin tones can develop dark spots in response to inflammation, acne scars, or excessive sun exposure. These spots, often called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, are more visible and persist longer than on lighter skin tones.

To meet these needs, Michèle Care offers the “ Teint Caramel” range ,
specially formulated for dark skin. This range helps to even out the complexion
while reducing dark spots. Active ingredients work to fade hyperpigmentation and prevent new spots from appearing.
