MaMa Lotion Instructions for Dark Skin Types
Since darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation, it is important to take special note of these instructions. MORE IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER.
1. When using MaMa Lotion on dark skin it is very important to start slow and gradually increase the usage to obtain the best results.
2. For most individualls who have never used active ingredients on the skin we recommend using MaMa Lotion no more that twice a week for the first few weeks up to one month.
3. Gradually increase usage to every other day as tolerated. Some individuals may be able to use MaMa Lotion every day eventually, some may not.
4. Mild peeling is normal, but if the skin becomes irritated, red, or inflamed this may cause darkening of the skin (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). If your pimples heal with brown color that lasts for weeks or months, you are at risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
5. More is not always better. If the skin does become irritated, a) Stop using MaMa Lotion for a few days. b) Use only a good gentle moisturizer only such as Cellex-C for few days. c) protect the skin from any direct sunlight with a strong sunscreen containing titanium and zinc such as Cellex-C SUN CARE SPF 30 sunscreen. This would be good to use daily while treating hyperpigmented skin and for ongoing maintenance because hyperpigmentation can always come back. d) Within a few days the MaMa Lotion may be started again.
6. Everyone will be able to find the right schedule to use without causing hyperpigmentation.
7. If the skin is ultra sensitive, we would recommend applying the moisturizer first to seal the skin and then apply the MaMa Lotion over the top of the Moisturizer (reverse order).
8. Remember the key to success is to use enough MaMa Lotion to lighten the skin or clear up the acne but not so much that the skin is irritated and at risk of hyperpigmentation.
9. A wide brimmed hat is also important to give maximum protection to the face from the sun.
10. Non facial areas of skin will do best if irritations and abrasions are avoided and the areas are kept well moisturized and protected from the sun. |
