Anti-Aging Skincare Solutions For Hyperpigmentation And Dark Spots With Biologique Recherche

Have you looked at your skin lately? Over time and with the change of seasons, your skin also changes and needs special attention. Whether it’s addressing dark spots, hyperpigmentation, improving elasticity, firming, toning, brightening, or just smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, the Biologique Recherche custom skincare collection has your solution. A consistent at-home skincare routine along with the continual use of sunscreen will always help, but good skincare is ever-changing. It should be regularly adjusted to the specific needs of your unique issues and condition.  

One of the most common skin issues is hyperpigmentation and dark spots as we age. Even with consistent use of sunscreen and proper skin care, it is difficult to prevent the appearance of sunspots and age spots. Post-summer hyperpigmentation issues often pop up in winter months, resulting in discoloration on your face. Biologique Recherche has formulated a specific collection of products to address and resolve these issues.  

Read on for more information and at-home skincare solutions to use for the best anti-aging skincare products from Biologique Recherche to address hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and other related skin problems.  

What is Skin Pigmentation? 

Pigmentation in the skin is epidermal and dermal discoloration resulting from high melanin secretion. Melanin is the component that gives the skin complexion, naturally rendering it darker or lighter according to hereditary determinants. However, other factors like photo-induced melanogenesis also influence melanin production.

The variations in skin tones and pigmented spots, also called dark spots, arise due to defective regulation of melanin secretion and excessive melanin production. Although this is a preventable natural phenomenon, 60 percent of the time, it is caused by UV exposure.

Apart from this primary cause, hyperpigmentation or dermal pigmentation is also caused by factors such as: 

• Hormonal imbalance 
• Hepatic dysfunctions 
• Genetic predisposition 
• Endocrine dysfunctions 
• Pregnancy 

Besides these, other contributing factors can impact the overall appearance of your skin and its complexion. Some of these include:

• Skin type 
• Smoking 
• Lifestyle 

In addition to this, the number of melanocytes decreases, worsening the locally-irregular accumulation of melanin. To further aggravate the matter, aging sets in. But due to the far-reaching nature of its effects, it's worth taking a closing look.

The Aging Process 

Generally speaking, the skin's aging process brings dullness, dryness, and pigmentation issues. The principal pigmentation problem is senile lentigo, commonly called age spots that pop up on exposed skin parts after hitting 50. The most sensitive parts of the body are usually the back of the hands and the face. The spots appear as small, brown, and greasy marks, ranging in size from a few millimeters but can also grow as large as several centimeters in diameter.

Skin disorders such as hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and age spots don't emerge overnight. Instead, they develop gradually and generally affect about 90 percent of women, 50 and above. Luckily, you can reinvent your skin and regain the beautiful glow of youthful skin with Environ Skin Care and Biologique Recherche products.

Contributing Factors 

But before considering the specific products, here is a deeper dive into some of the primary causes: 

• Hormonal imbalances - About 24 percent of spots are caused by hormonal disruptions resulting from pregnancy. Apart from this, several hormones also cause hyperpigmentation in women. Examples are the sex hormones progesterone and estrogen, and disorders with these hormones commonly arise during phases like menopause, cell cycle, etc.
   
• Genetic predisposition - People from certain ethnic groups with more yellow, darker, or olive skin are at a higher risk of developing spots due to their genetics.
   
• Pregnancy - Epidermal melasma, also called chloasma, produces the "mask of pregnancy," which usually becomes noticeable during the second half of pregnancies. This condition is more common in dark-hair women that have phototype IV skin. However, just as suddenly as it appears, it disappears entirely after delivery, when regular periods return. Hence, it's advised not to treat it until six months following pregnancy.

• Contraceptive pills - Some women also develop pigment spots when taking birth control pills after exposure to sunlight. Usually, this condition is rampant among women with brown, phototype IV skin, especially when they don't know the power of Biologique Recherche products.

• Cellular hypertoxicity - A classic example is the application of synthetic perfume directly to the skin followed by sunlight exposure. This causes cell hypertoxicity leading to the appearance of spots; essential oils can also cause this problem.
   
• Drug reaction - Some antibiotics like tetracycline can produce dark spots as side effects. Like radiotherapy and chemotherapy treatments can also lead to the same problem.

Suppose you find yourself dealing with hyperpigmentation and dark spots due to any of these factors. In that case, Biologique Recherche offers a compelling collection of skincare solutions with the PIGM 400 collection of products. The collection includes a toner, facial serum, sheet masque, micro-cone spot patches, and face cream to target dark spots and hyperpigmentation.

With many skin concerns, aging and its associated disadvantages have been the focus of top skincare brands like Biologique Recherche and Environ, especially if you’re looking to shop other Focus Care Radiance products such as Intense C-Boost Mela-Even Cream, Vita-Botanical Mela-Fade Serum, and Multi-Bioactive Mela-Prep lotion. But before choosing any dedicated anti-aging skincare solution, it’s crucial to obtain a diagnosis on your skin instant from experts at an authorized Biologique Recherche Skincare Spa such as Paul Labrecque.

This diagnostic procedure employs the Biologique Recherche methodology, which involves using a Skin Instant Lab diagnostic machine and software to ascertain the specific markers of your skin condition and needs.

This dedication to delivering lasting anti-aging solutions gave rise to the following anti-aging products outlined in the next section. 

Selected Array of Anti-aging Biologique Recherche Products

Serum PIGM 400 

The Biologique Recherche Solution Serum PIGM 400 was explicitly designed to combat dark spots and diminish the visibility of existing brown spots and even the complexion. Hence, making your skin tone look more uniform. This formula of active ingredient operates in three phases as follows: 

• Serum PIGM 400 inhibits the melanogenesis process thoroughly and highly selectively affects the function and behavior of the melanosomes. 
• It brings the production of lipofuscin under control. 
• Also, its anti-free radicals and photo-protectors shield the skin.

If your skin is also prone to acne, you can also benefit from the highly regenerative effects of Creme Placenta in addition to this serum. But here are some of the main benefits you can expect from Serum PIGM 400.

Primary Benefits 

• The six concentrated active elements this serum contains brightens the skin 
• The serum impacts the skin on four layers of melanosome and melanogenesis regulation: number, size, migration, and maturation

• It serves as protection from free radicals and helps to slow the aging of your skin
• It offers a combination of protective and brightening active ingredients 
• A high efficacy treatment that also goes easy on the epidermis 
• Combining it with La Grande Creme visibly regenerates and lightens dark spots, giving a better complexion. 
• Allows easy application and precise dosage due to the pump bottle design.

How to Use 

Serum PIGM 400 is best used with two other PIGM 400 products: Lotion P50 PIGM and the Creme PIGM 400. Typically, applications will be twice daily, in the morning and evening, on every inch of the face to lighten the complexion. But you concentrate it on dark spots, whether on the forearms, hands, face, or cleavage, with 2-4 drops after using your Lotion P50 PIGM. Then follow the serum with the Creme to complete your anti-aging regimen.

Other Serums 

There are several serums to use for rejuvenating, refreshing, and brightening your complexion. For one, the Serum Placenta possesses unique healing properties that resolve different skincare problems related to scarring from acne. It repairs the skin, lightens dark areas like dark eye circles, and restores the proper tone with anti-aging effects. Apart from these, pigment spots will not escape this potent serum either.

Another serum from Biologique Recherche to consider for restoring youthful elasticity to the skin is the anti-aging bio serum called Serum Elastine. Aside from Serum PIGM 400 mentioned earlier; these two options will also provide a lasting remedy to excess melanin synthesis.

 Crème PIGM 400 

The ideal anti-aging facial cream is the Crème PIGM 400. It has a unifying, illuminating, and spot-removing effect that complements the benefits of the serums. It subdues the development of new pigment spots, lessens the harshness of existing spots, and evens out the complexion by brightening it. The Crème PIGM 400 is a brightening solution that influences the melanogenesis process at every level, from pigment production to migration to the skin surface. Plus, it also induces the disintegration of lipofuscin. Ideally, you want to combine this cream with Serum PIGM400.

Emulsions Mains PIGM 400 

For the hands, you need a multipolar cream enriched with active ingredients to protect against the appearance of pigment spots and limit the appearance of existing ones. This cream is no other than Émulsion Mains PIGM400. It develops a protective shield over the skin, keeping external and harmful elements away. It determines the localized pigmentation of brown spots, blocks aging resulting from exposure, and normalizes skin color.

Apart from this, it also decreases excessive dehydration and helps stimulate the natural lipid replenishment system of the skin. This makes Émulsion Mains PIGM400 a comprehensive treatment capable of rendering your hands' epidermis lightened and feeling brand new.

Using Nutritional Strategies To Reduce Pigmentation

To add to these solutions, expert nutritionists recommend nutritional strategies that can help avoid hyperpigmentation. However, achieving this requires a personalized approach that identifies the primary reason behind the increased melanin production. Usually, this means conducting a thorough nutritional and medical analysis.

The most effective and time-saving way to pinpoint the root of hyperpigmentation in women is to resolve hormonal imbalance and, more specifically, hepatic function. These two hormonal imbalances and liver function are highly dependent on each other. Consequently, they require highly sophisticated nutritional support.

Nevertheless, a low Glycaemic Index diet is the most effective nutritional support for regulating hormonal imbalance. The main goal is to keep a constant release of glucose against supplying the system with excess sugar, resulting in detrimental effects on the hormonal profile. Examples of low Glycaemic Index carbohydrates are oats, amaranth, sweet potatoes, brown or black rice, teff, quinoa, buckwheat, and many more.

Generally, maintaining a low carbohydrate profile and substantially decreasing processed sweet foods positively affects hormonal balance and benefits melanin production.

Next Vital Step 

The vital step to follow this diet adjustment for hyperpigmentation is to ensure exceptionally high levels of liver health. This is because the liver has a remarkable ability to process surplus hormones and toxins and methylate them in the body. Among the reasons that pigmentation spots are also known as liver spots is because these spots can also appear due to the liver's failure to detoxify the body, including the epidermal and dermal tissues. Consequently, lipofuscin accumulates as a by-product of waste created by skin cell damage from free radicals.

This sign of lipofuscin accumulation indicates that waste cells have built up in the cells. The collection of these waste substances breaks down the cell's structure. Simply put, liver spots are visible symptoms of free radical intoxication of the system. Therefore, a clear and bright skin that's free of pigmentation spots is indicative of a clean, healthy, and toxin-free liver. Other benefits include reduced circulation of secondary hormones like estrogen and purer blood.

Food for the Liver 

On the other hand, an improper diet that causes liver malfunctions, especially too much alcohol consumption and intake of oxidized fat, primarily stimulates the production of free radicals that promote lipofuscin formation.

Generally, foods that are good for the liver are rich in one specific nutrient: Sulfur. Some sulfur-rich foods to add to your diet that could boost liver and skin health include onions, brassicas, eggs, garlic, cauliflower, pak choi, cabbage, fish, broccoli, cauliflower, and beans.

Conclusion 

When it comes to hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and other effects of aging, it's easy to focus on the face and forget other parts of the body, such as the hands. However, your body, particularly the hands, are equally prone to hyperpigmentation like your face. Fortunately, Biologique Recherche offers a unique selection of anti-aging skincare solutions to help reverse the effects of hyperpigmentation and eliminate dark spots on your entire skin.
