Most skincare advice treats pigmentation as a surface issue, just slap on some vitamin C and SPF, right? Not quite. In this episode, we reveal the real cellular drivers behind stubborn dark spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory pigmentation, and why conventional brightening tactics often fail long-term.
We also break down how UV, blue light, and inflammation disrupt melanocyte function and why aging skin struggles to regulate melanin evenly.
This episode gives you a layered protocol, from SPF to deeper tools like NAD+, spermidine, and more, that tackles pigment at the root. We also dive into when to consider lasers, how to prepare your skin for them, and what not to do if you want long-term results without rebound pigmentation.
If you’re ready to stop managing spots and start reversing them with precision, this episode is your science-backed strategy for even-toned, resilient skin!
