Multi-tasking Product -- PFB + Chromabright for Ingrown Hair and Dark Spots

Hyperpigmentation, an excess amount of melanin, is the medical term for what we would call dark skin spots or patches. While it can happen for a variety of reasons, those with darker skin tones are more likely to get these spots and are often a result from an injury, called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

It made perfect sense when I saw an ad in a spa magazine for PFB + Chromabright, an ingrown hair and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation fighter it one. Many people with darker skin tones, like those of African, East Indian or Middle-Eastern descent often seem to struggle with ingrown hairs and razor bumps. Even when cleared in certain areas, the trauma to skin leaves the hyperpigmented skin spots.

Of course, it's best to prevent the bumps and the dark skin spots before they happen (see tips for shaving and waxing). But for some people with severe cases, it's a really good idea to keep a product on hand...Just in case.

My assistant tried out the company's ingrown hair fighter alone, PFB Vanish, and it's not one of her favorites of the many she's tested. But we would love to hear what you think of PFB + Chromabright (compare prices). Tell us in the comments below.
