How To Improve The Look of Dark Spots & Hyperpigmentation

Dark spots, patches and hyperpigmentation found anywhere on the body are all super common, especially when it comes to the armpits and bikini line. For some, the discoloration can be very frustrating and a source of insecurity. In this blog you will find a simple and natural routine to help with dark spots on your own and review impressive progress photos from Bushbalm customers who have used products from our dark spot collection.

Step 1. Dry Brush

Using our Nordic Dry Brush on your dark spots is necessary to break down the melanin pigments that cause dark spots on the skin's surface - click here to learn more about what causes dark spots. We created the Nordic Dry Brush with all natural bristles to cater to sensitive skin and avoid irritation. You can use the brush anywhere on the body (think bikini line, armpits, legs, chest, arms, stomach and more). It is important to ensure you are using the dry brush in a gentle, circular motion and stick to doing so 1-2 times a week. Don't over dry brush your skin!

How to use: Before hopping into the shower or bath, gently buff the areas with dark spots and hyperpigmentation.  We recommend using this product 1-2 times a week, depending on how sensitive your skin is.

Step 2. Scrub

The Bermuda Scrub will treat your dark spots and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation.  Bermuda contains nourishing ingredients, such as lemon essential oil, that will lighten dark spots and brighten the skin. In addition, you'll find our go-to antioxidant rich blend of Jojoba and Grapeseed oil to moisturize and rejuvenate your skin. This exfoliant will scrub away dull and dead skin cells and reveal healthy skin, all while breaking up the melanin pigments - click here to learn more about the ingredients that help to naturally break up dark spots.

Bermuda Oil is formulated to gently break down melanin that builds up in the skin and overtime will help you achieve a more even skin tone.

The combination of fractionated coconut carrier oil, lemon essential oil, and rare copaiba oil work to even and diffuse the appearance of dark spots and blemishes.

Dark Spots on the Face 

If you are struggling with dark spots and hyperpigmentation on the face this routine will look a little different. The Bermuda Collection is designed for the body but we have had customers see amazing results on the face! Therefore, we recommend doing patch tests and gradually introducing the Bermuda Scrub and Bermuda Oil into your facial skincare routine. Begin by placing a dime size amount on the face to ensure that there are no negative reactions and that your face skin reacts accepts the product. If you do use the scrub and oil on the face, only place the product on the dark spots. As for the Nordic Dry Brush, we recommend using it exclusively on the rest of the body.
