- Spot Treatments: Use targeted acids and serums carefully to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Layering Actives: Niacinamide + SPF = better even tone, reduces irritation risk.
- Mask & Massage Combo: Hydro-jelly or clay masks followed by light massage improves absorption and circulation.
- Client Education: Always explain why steps matter — builds trust and compliance.
- Ingredient Awareness: Avoid harsh AHAs/BHAs without prep; melanin-rich skin is sensitive to over-aggressive treatments.
