Radiant at Every Age: The Skincare Series for Black Women 40+ – Part 4 Girl. Let’s go ahead and talk about the spot that won’t stop. We’ve been building this series brick by brick, and now we’re here at one of the biggest frustrations for melanin-rich skin after 40: hyperpigmentation. You know the story—one little breakout turns into a souvenir that overstays its welcome. Or you had a bit of dryness or irritation and now there's a shadow that won’t go away. I know it’s tempting to go hard—scrub it, bleach it, burn it off—but sis, your skin doesn’t need to be punished. It needs to be understood. So today, we’re gonna talk all the way through how to fade those dark spots for good —gently, lovingly, and most importantly, safely. Grab your tea. Let’s get into it. 💥 Real Talk: What Is Hyperpigmentation?
