The problem: "Skin cells become sticky and don't shed properly," explains Susan C. Taylor, founding director of the Skin of Color Center at St. Luke's and Roosevelt Hospitals in New York City. "You get uneven skin tone, such as dark patches on the cheeks and forehead."
Top treatment: AHAs like glycolic, malic, or lactic acids. "They break the bonds between dead cells so they shed more easily, and they're less irritating to dark skin than rough, granular scrubs," says Taylor. She recommends DDF Glycolic 10% Exfoliating Oil Control Gel.
