About this episode

Welcome to Skincare School the podcast, your ultimate skincare study guide. Join Adore Beauty’s Senior Editor Amy Clark and Dr. Michelle Wong from Lab Muffin Beauty Science as they take things right back to basics to make skin care simple and F-U-N!

What’s on this episode? We’re glad you asked…

Hyperpigmentation, Sun Damage & Melasma Moustaches

Pigmentation. Sun spots. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Freckles. Age spots. Melasma. Uneven skin tone.

If you've heard these terms before but don't really know what they mean, this episode of Skincare School is for you! This week, Michelle explains what causes pigment in the skin and the different types of hyperpigmentation. 

Plus, we bust some common hyperpigmentation myths, including the difference between natural freckles and sun damage, and why you really shouldn't use lemon juice to brighten your skin. And as always, we've got your hyperpigmentation skincare products and treatments sorted.
