Hyperpigmentation doesn’t take a break in winter—and for melanin-rich skin, colder months can quietly make dark spots more noticeable if routines aren’t adjusted properly.
 
In this episode of Skintelligent Sundays, we unpack why winter is actually a high-risk season for hyperpigmentation flare-ups and how to protect your skin without overcorrecting or triggering pigment rebound.
 

 
 
What We Cover in This Episode


Why dark spots often worsen during colder months


How winter routines increase inflammation in melanin-rich skin


The role of a compromised skin barrier in hyperpigmentation


Common winter habits that silently trigger pigment flare-ups


Why winter is about stabilizing, not aggressively correcting pigment


How seasonal transitions impact long-term skin results


 
 

 
 
Key Takeaways
 Hyperpigmentation is driven by inflammation—not just sun exposure
 Hot showers, over-exfoliation, and stopping sunscreen matter more than you think
 A damaged skin barrier makes pigment harder to control
 Winter is the best time to preserve progress and prevent setbacks
 

 
 
Winter Hyperpigmentation Triggers to Avoid


Daily or aggressive exfoliation


Introducing strong treatments too quickly


Skipping sunscreen because it’s cold or cloudy


Ignoring early signs of irritation


Instead, focus on barrier support, calming ingredients, and consistency.
