Dark skin can sometimes develop pigmentation changes when undergoing temporary hair removal methods, such as waxing, shaving, tweezing or depilatory creams, due to a few key reasons:
- Irritation and inflammation
- Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Sensitivity
- Sun Exposure
- Technique
To minimize the risk of pigmentation issues, it’s advisable to follow proper aftercare, including moisturizing the skin, avoiding sun exposure immediately after hair removal, and using products designed for sensitive skin.
