Suggest Remedy For Dark Pigmentation In Skin After Shaving Mustache
hi i am a 20 year old male the problem is that every time i shave my moustache it leaves a very distinctively dark shadow across my upper lip that is very noticeable, it is an eye sore and has knocked my confidence, i have tried every razor out there and once tried hair removal cream but none has worked any suggestions?

Hi,
I understand your concern as face is the most important part when 1 st impression is considered. Hyperpigmentation in the area of moustache is mostly because of chronic regular friction which occurs when shaving is done.
I will suggest you to visit your dermatologist as series chemical peels can help you with the hyperpigmentation. As a home care you can start using kojic acid based cream on a daily basis.
I hope this will be helpful to you
