Dark spots are one of the most common skin concerns, yet also one of the most misunderstood. Many people try random products, harsh scrubs, and “quick fixes,” only to make the problem worse. Dark spots don’t fade because of luck. They fade when the skin is treated with the right care, the right ingredients, and a consistent skincare routine. This guide breaks down the real reasons dark spots appear and the methods that actually help them fade. Why do dark spots form in the first place? Dark spots are the result of excess melanin production. The skin creates more pigment when it feels threatened or damaged. The triggers are usually simple:      1. Sun exposure UV rays increase melanin and make existing dark spots look darker. Even a few minutes of unprotected sun exposure every day can lead to uneven tone.      2. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) Pimple marks, picking at acne, or any injury to the skin can leave behind brown spots that take time to fade.      3. Hormonal changes Pregnancy or hormonal imbalance can increase pigmentation, especially around the cheeks and forehead.      4. Skin irritation Using harsh scrubs, strong actives, or the wrong skincare products can trigger more pigment instead of reducing it. Understanding the cause is the starting point. Once the triggers are under control, dark spots become easier to treat. Common mistakes that make dark spots worse Many routines fail not because the products are wrong, but because the approach is wrong. These are the most common mistakes:      Over-exfoliation Scrubbing harder will not fade pigment. It damages the skin barrier, causes inflammation, and deepens the spot.      Using too many brightening actives at once Combining Vitamin C, AHA, BHA, retinol, and random “whitening creams” creates chaos for the skin. Irritation leads to more pigmentation.      Skipping sunscreen This is the biggest reason dark spots don’t fade. Without SPF, no serum or treatment will show visible improvement.      Expecting results in one week Skin turnover takes time. Dark spots need a consistent routine, not a miracle cure. A consistent routine works better than aggressive treatments. The right strategy: calm the skin + correct the pigment Fading dark spots requires a simple two-phase method: First, calm the skin, then correct the pigmentation. This approach ensures long-term results without irritation. PHASE 1: Calm the skin Before treating pigmentation, the skin barrier must feel safe and supported. When the barrier is healthy, treatments work better and faster.      1. Switch to a gentle face wash Avoid harsh foaming face wash. Use formulas that clean without stripping moisture. A mild, brightening face wash such as Milk Powder Face Wash infused with Fermented Rice Milk & Papain Enzyme works well.      2. Add lightweight hydration A good Ultra Moisturising Cream helps reduce irritation, redness, and inflammation, key contributors to pigmentation.      3. Use sunscreen every day This is non-negotiable. UV rays darken spots, slow down healing, and undo weeks of progress. A broad-spectrum SPF50 used daily is the strongest weapon against pigmentation. Once the skin is calm and protected, it is ready for targeted brightening ingredients. PHASE 2: Correct the pigment Safe, plant-based actives help lighten dark spots by slowing melanin production and supporting healthy cell turnover. The most effective ingredients include:      1. Rice milk extract Known for its natural brightening properties, rice milk extract helps reduce dullness and fade pigmentation without irritating the skin. It hydrates, softens, and supports a more even tone, making it ideal for sensitive and beginner-friendly routines.      2. Marine algae extract Marine algae are loaded with antioxidants and minerals that help repair skin damage caused by pollution and UV exposure, two major triggers for dark spots. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, calm inflammation, and improve clarity over time.      3. Alpha arbutin A trusted brightening ingredient, alpha arbutin slows down excess melanin production and targets stubborn dark spots with precision. It works gradually and safely, making it suitable for long-term daily use. All three of these powerful ingredients, Rice Milk Extract, Marine Algae Extract, and Alpha Arbutin, come together in Milk Drops Brightening Serum, creating a gentle water-based formula that helps reduce pigmentation, fade dark spots, and give visibly brighter skin in just 4 weeks. “This is a beginner-friendly serum anyone can use. We chose gentle, plant-based actives so even moms-to-be can use it with confidence.” - Kruthika Kumaran, Founder of Vilvah. A simple routine that helps fade dark spots A clear, consistent routine is more effective than using too many products.      Morning routine Gentle cleanser Milk Drops Brightening Serum to reduce dark spots Moisturiser Sunscreen to protect your skin      Night routine Milk Powder Face Wash to reduce dark spots & oil buildup throughout the day Serum to prep your skin Good Moisturiser This routine supports the skin barrier, fades pigment, and protects the skin from further damage. Visible results typically appear within 4 weeks. Dark spots don’t fade overnight Dark spots are stubborn but not permanent. They fade when the skin is protected, nourished, and given the right products consistently. A calm barrier, targeted brightening ingredients, and daily sun protection create long-lasting clarity and glow. The formula is simple: Protect. Brighten. Be consistent. For an easy start, both the Milk Powder Face Wash and Milk Drops Brightening Serum are available as a Face Brightening Combo on the Vilvah online store and at the nearest Vilvah outlet, making it simple to build a routine that supports clear, even-toned skin. FAQs 1. What are dark spots on the face? Dark spots are areas where melanin builds up due to sun exposure, acne marks, or skin damage. They make the skin look uneven, but with the right care, they can fade over time. 2. What are the types of dark spots on the face? Common types include acne marks, sunspots, age spots, and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Each develops differently, but all respond well to gentle brightening care and sun protection. 3. How to reduce pimple dark spots on the face? Use a gentle cleanser, apply a brightening serum with rice milk extract or alpha arbutin, moisturise, and use sunscreen daily. Consistency helps pimple marks fade faster. 4. What is the best skincare for dark spots on the face? A mild cleanser, a gentle brightening serum like Milk Drops, a good moisturiser, and SPF50 every day. This simple routine fades spots without irritating the skin. 5. What’s the best soap to remove dark spots on face? The best soaps for dark spots are Tomato & Pink Clay Soap, Cucumber Curd & Mint Soap, and Charcoal Goatmilk Soap. They help brighten pigmentation, calm inflammation, and gently detoxify the skin, making dark spots fade naturally with consistent use.

It’s strange how we notice our dry, pigmented lips only in the most random moments. Like mid-conversation when someone’s wearing a tinted lip balm that looks effortlessly natural, or when an old photo pops up in our Snap memories. And suddenly, we wonder, ‘Why don’t my lips look pink and healthy anymore?’ That tiny realisation hits harder than any skincare ad, agree? For something so small, lips change the way our face looks. They reflect more than colour - hydration, lifestyle, habits, and more. So, if you’re now thinking about looking after your lips, but don’t want complicated routines or messy kitchen DIYs, and still want to know how to get pink lips naturally, we’re here to tell you exactly how. What affects your natural lip colour?  It starts with melanin, the pigment that gives colour to our skin and lips. More melanin leads to deeper or darker lips. Less melanin leads to lighter or pinker lips.  But it is not the only factor. Your lip colour also changes because of: Genetics: Something you’re naturally born with. Blood flow: Good circulation makes lips look healthy and rosy. Sun exposure: UV rays trigger more melanin and can cause pigmentation. Lifestyle: Smoking, dehydration, and too much caffeine can darken lips. Lip care routine: Skipping exfoliation or moisture causes uneven tone. Hormonal changes & ageing: Pregnancy, menopause, or vitamin deficiencies. Allergic reactions: Using lipsticks and lip balms with harsh chemicals. Now that you know what messes with our natural lip colour, let’s get to the real question - how to get pink lips easily? Our answer is simple. You need the right lip care routine and a little consistency. How to make your lips naturally pink?

Body acne usually starts quietly. A few bumps on your shoulder. A little redness on your back. Then one day you look in the mirror and think, When did this become a whole thing? Most people don’t notice it until it’s already bad. Not because they don’t care, but because body skin is the easiest to ignore. You cover it with clothes, pretend it’s fine, and move on. Until it stops being “fine.” But here’s the truth people don’t want to say: Body acne doesn’t come from one big mistake. It comes from small daily habits stacking up against you. And the only way to fix it is to understand body acne causes and change them - slowly and consistently. Let’s break this down. Why does body acne even happen? Before fixing it, you need to know what you’re fighting. Body acne forms when: Your pores get clogged by sweat, oil, dirt, or dead skin Bacteria grow in these clogged pores Friction from tight clothes irritates your skin Hair products drip down and block pores Dry skin builds up and traps oil Keratosis Pilaris-like bumps (tiny rough bumps) get inflamed A lot of people think only oily skin gets body acne. Not true. Dry skin can also cause acne because dry, flaky layers trap oil and bacteria inside. That’s why body care matters so much, especially products that support hydration, barrier repair, and gentle exfoliation. How to get rid of body acne? Body acne can be stubborn, painful, and honestly, super frustrating especially when it shows up out of nowhere. The good news? With a few smart changes, you can calm it down faster than you think.      1. Shower right after sweating This is the first rule. Sweat sitting on your skin is like a trap. It mixes with bacteria and clogs your pores. This is why gym-goers, dancers, and people who live in humid places get body acne more often. If you walk a lot, work out, or even sit in the heat for long hours, shower soon after. Waiting too long creates the perfect environment for acne.      2. Use a body cleanser with the right ingredients Choosing the right body wash for body acne isn’t about smell. It’s about what it does for your skin. Look for body cleansers that: Clean deeply, but don’t strip your skin Are gentle enough for daily use Support hydration and barrier repair Vilvah’s Goat Milk Body Wash focuses on skin problems like dryness, dullness, roughness, and uneven tone, all of which make acne worse. Infused with farm-fresh goat milk, it balances the skin barrier, reduces inflammation and helps prevent new breakouts. If you prefer bar soaps, choose ones with a gentle, hydrating formula. Classic Goat Milk Soap is one of the best soaps for body acne because it cleans without drying, keeps the skin barrier stable, and reduces the irritation that often triggers new bumps.      3. Don’t skip weekly body scrub Most people think scrubbing is optional. It’s not. If you struggle with strawberry skin or persistent body acne, a weekly scrub makes a real difference. When you body scrub once a week: Pores stay clearer Sweat doesn’t get trapped Bacteria has less space to grow Rough bumps soften Strawberry-skin dots fade Strawberry skin happens when dead skin and oil clog your hair follicles, and the same buildup can trigger more body acne. A gentle weekly exfoliation clears this buildup and keeps your skin smoother, cleaner, and less prone to breakouts. If you want to learn more, check out our detailed blog on strawberry skin.      4. A good body lotion goes a long way When your skin gets too dry, it produces more oil to protect itself. More oil = more clogged pores. That’s why dryness, rough patches, and peeling skin often lead to more breakouts. Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic body lotion. Vilvah’s Milk Body Lotion is made using Skin-Mimicking Ceramides to fix dryness, dull tone, and rough texture, all problems that make acne worse. Hydration keeps the skin barrier healthy and stops new acne from forming. “Milk Body Lotion is my idea of good body care, clean, gentle, and something your skin can rely on every single day.” - Kruthika Kumaran, Founder of Vilvah.      5. Be careful with hair products Most people miss this, but hair products cause a lot of back acne. Conditioners, hair masks, serums, and oils drip down your back during a shower. These products are not meant for skin. They block pores and cause breakouts. Do this instead: Wash your hair first Then wash your body with a good acne body wash This removes the leftover product from your back and shoulders. It’s a small change but makes a big difference.      6. Stop picking your acne Picking makes everything worse: more inflammation more spread deeper marks long-lasting dark spots Let it heal. Your hands carry bacteria, and touching acne transfers it to fresh skin. Small lifestyle changes to clear body acne Body acne often improves when you adjust simple everyday routines. These easy lifestyle changes help reduce clogged pores, prevent new breakouts, and support long-term skin clarity.      Check your diet Food isn’t the main cause of acne, but it plays a part. Drink more water and eat more fruits and veggies. It won’t fix acne overnight, but it will help your skin stay healthy and hydrated.      Fix the “Clothes Problem” Your clothes matter more than you think. Tight clothes, synthetic fabrics, and sweaty gym wear block your pores and increase friction. Wear clean clothes every day. Choose breathable fabrics like cotton.      Keep your bedding clean Your bedsheets collect sweat, body oils & more. And then you roll around in it every night. Wash your sheets once a week. Clear skin starts with daily care Body acne is common. It’s fixable. You don’t need complicated routines. You just need good habits and the right products. Make small changes, stay consistent, and your skin will slowly get better week after week. If your skin needs a reset, Vilvah's body acne soap and body wash are made to help you get there. Check out Vilvah's official website or walk into your nearest Vilvah store. FAQs 1. What are the different types of body acne? Body acne usually appears as blackheads, whiteheads, small red bumps, pimples, or cysts. These happen when sweat, oil, and dead skin get trapped inside pores. Different types may look different but they all respond well to a gentle routine and consistent care. 2. How can I prevent body acne? Preventing body acne starts with simple habits: shower after sweating, wear breathable fabrics, exfoliate weekly, and avoid heavy body lotions that clog pores. Keeping your skin clean and reducing friction on the body helps stop breakouts before they appear.  3. Does body heat cause acne? Yes, body heat can trigger acne. When your body heats up, you sweat more, and excess oil mixes with sweat and bacteria. This blocks pores and leads to breakouts, especially on the back and shoulders. Staying cool and showering after heat exposure helps prevent this. 4. Does body acne go away with age? For many people, body acne reduces with age as hormones become more stable. While it may not disappear overnight, the right routine can keep it well under control. Consistency matters more than age, and gentle care can calm even stubborn breakouts over time. 5. Why do I get body acne in the winter? Winter makes skin dry and tight, causing your body to produce more oil to compensate. Heavy winter clothing and less airflow also trap sweat and bacteria, leading to clogged pores. This combination often causes winter flare-ups, even if your skin is usually clear.

Sometimes your hair loves to test your patience. You avoid heat styling tools, sleep on a satin pillow case, or even put braid when you go out, and it still feels dry, stiff, or flat. You can almost hear it saying, ‘Nice try, but I’ll do my own thing!’ and you know nothing in the world will convince it otherwise. Yes, we know that struggle - that’s what living with low porosity hair often feels like. But nothing to worry about!

If you recognise most of these, we would like to recommend the best low porosity hair care routine for you.

Is coconut oil good for low porosity hair? Coconut oil is usually not the best for low porosity hair. Its thick texture struggles to enter tightly packed cuticles and can sit on top, causing buildup. Lighter oils like argan or jojoba absorb better and keep the hair healthy without weighing it down. 2. How to take care of low porosity hair? Low porosity hair needs warmth and lightweight moisture. Use warm water to open the cuticle, choose water-based products, avoid heavy oils, and deep condition with heat. Gentle care helps the hair feel softer and absorb hydration better. 3. What are the best tips for low porosity hair? Use lightweight leave-ins, avoid product buildup, clarify regularly, and apply heat during conditioning. Keeping the routine simple and moisture-focused helps the hair stay smooth, manageable, and nourished. 4. What are the characteristics of low porosity hair? Low porosity hair repels water, takes longer to soak products, dries slowly, and often feels stiff or coated when overloaded. The cuticles lie flat and tightly packed, making hydration harder to absorb without warmth. 5. How to dry low porosity hair? Low porosity hair dries slowly, so gently squeeze out water with a soft cotton towel or T-shirt, never rub. Let it air-dry partially, then use a blow dryer on low heat to avoid frizz and help the cuticle open slightly. This keeps your hair smooth, healthy, and full of natural bounce.

If you keep hearing the word “niacinamide” everywhere, there’s a simple reason: it works. Not in a “change-your-face-in-three-days” way. It works because the science behind it is solid, and your skin actually understands it. Still, most people don’t know the real niacinamide uses beyond “brightens skin” or “reduces dark spots.” The truth is, niacinamide does far more than that. It is one of the few ingredients that solves many skin problems at once. Let’s break it down in simple terms. What exactly is niacinamide? Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3. It is water-based, gentle, and works well with almost every other ingredient in skincare. If your skin barrier is damaged, niacinamide helps fix it. If your pores look big, it helps by shrinking them. If your skin looks dull, it helps brighten it. It’s a basic nutrient your skin already understands. And that’s why it works so well. 6 Benefits of niacinamide for skin Niacinamide is your skin’s all-rounder! It keeps your skin barrier strong, evens out tone, and gives a natural glow without any harshness. Whether you are tackling dullness, oiliness, or early signs of ageing, here are six niacinamide benefits your skin will absolutely love.      1. It strengthens your skin barrier Most of the problems you face - dryness, dullness & irritation, it all comes from a weak skin barrier. This barrier is like the wall that protects your skin from pollution, sun, heat, and harsh products. When this wall has cracks, everything goes wrong. Niacinamide helps repair these cracks. When your barrier becomes stronger, your skin automatically looks smoother, plumper, and more even. If you feel your skin gets irritated easily, this is the biggest reason niacinamide should be in your routine.      2. It reduces pigmentation Pigmentation doesn’t show up in one day. It builds slowly for many reasons. One of the biggest niacinamide skin benefits is that it reduces pigmentation by slowing how much melanin reaches the top layer, calming irritation that causes dark spots, and helping your skin repair faster so old marks fade. Does it work as fast as vitamin C? Well, vitamin C can irritate your skin. Niacinamide gives steady results in a gentler way. If you want bright skin without burning or tingling, niacinamide is the smarter choice.      3. It controls oil without drying your skin Many people think oily skin means “bad skin.” That’s wrong. Your skin makes oil to protect itself. The problem is when your oil glands get confused and start producing too much. Niacinamide helps calm down that extra oil production. You don’t end up with a greasy T-zone, but your skin also doesn’t turn dry or stretchy. It keeps things balanced. If you want less shine but still want soft and hydrated skin, this ingredient is perfect.      4. It shrinks the look of large pores The truth is, you cannot erase pores. They are part of your skin. But you can make them look smaller. Large-looking pores usually come from: Too much oil Dirt buildup Weak skin structure Niacinamide helps with all three. When oil production slows down and the skin barrier becomes stronger, your pores don’t stretch open. With regular use, your skin texture starts looking smoother and more refined.      5. It calms redness and irritation If your skin gets irritated easily, after sun exposure, after shaving, or after using active ingredients, niacinamide helps calm it down. It reduces redness and inflamed patches because it has strong anti-inflammatory properties. It is one of the very few ingredients you can safely use when your skin is irritated. It is like the first aid for your irritated skin.      6. It slows the early signs of ageing Most people think ageing hits suddenly, but it doesn’t. Early ageing starts when your skin slowly loses strength and can’t hold itself up the way it used to. Your skin isn’t “getting old overnight”; it’s just lacking support. Niacinamide helps slow this by boosting your skin’s ability to hold collagen, which is what keeps it firm and smooth. Your skin doesn’t sag as fast, fine lines don’t show up as quickly, and you look more awake and fresh. If you want skin that stays firm for longer, start with a niacinamide serum. It’s a simple step that actually works. Who should use niacinamide? This is the easiest question. Everyone. Dry skin Oily skin Sensitive skin Acne-prone skin Mature skin Niacinamide does not pick sides. It supports almost every routine and almost every problem. A smarter way to use niacinamide A lot of people use niacinamide alone, but pairing it with the right partner gives even faster results. One strong example is Vilvah’s Better Ageing Serum. This serum combines Niacinamide + Bakuchiol, a gentle alternative to retinol. Both ingredients work together to help your skin look: Firmer Smoother More even Niacinamide handles the barrier repair, oil balance, and brightening. Bakuchiol supports collagen production and improves firmness without the irritation that traditional retinol causes. With daily use, this serum helps give visibly firmer skin in 28 days. And because it’s gentle, you can use it even if your skin is sensitive. It’s a simple upgrade that makes your niacinamide face serum work even better. The easiest way to get good skin Niacinamide is not a hype ingredient. It earns its place because it solves real skin problems without making your skin suffer. Most people chase quick fixes. Smart people build foundations. Niacinamide is a foundation. If you want to see these niacinamide serum benefits for yourself, you can get it online from the Vilvah Store or walk into the nearest Vilvah outlet. FAQs 1. Can I use niacinamide with retinol? Yes, you can use niacinamide with retinol. Niacinamide helps calm and strengthen your skin, reducing the dryness or irritation retinol may cause. Using them together balances the skin and boosts overall results. 2. Does niacinamide help with acne scars? Yes, niacinamide helps fade acne scars and marks over time. It supports skin repair, reduces inflammation, and promotes an even skin tone, making post-acne spots look lighter and smoother. 3. Does niacinamide lighten skin? Niacinamide doesn’t bleach your skin but helps even out uneven tone by reducing dark spots and dullness. With regular use, it gives a naturally brighter and more radiant appearance. 4. Can I use niacinamide and vitamin C together? Yes, niacinamide and vitamin C work well together. They both brighten skin and fade pigmentation. Using them in the same routine enhances glow and strengthens the skin barrier without irritation. 5. Can I pair niacinamide with hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid? Absolutely. Niacinamide pairs safely with all three. With hyaluronic acid, it hydrates deeply; with glycolic or salicylic acid, it soothes and balances the exfoliating effect keeping your skin calm and healthy.

Did you just touch your cheeks and think, “Why is my skin so dry?” Let’s be honest! Drinking 3 litres of water every day doesn’t always cut it (sorry, wellness people). This is when hyaluronic acid can really help. You’ve probably heard about it already! We’re not here for overhyped promises or ‘glass skin’ miracles from a hyaluronic acid serum or face wash. But let’s do some real talk: it provides deep, long-lasting hydration that your skin has been wanting. Think of it like that one friend who always refills your water bottle, keeping you hydrated and happy. Stick around as we break down everything you need to know about hyaluronic acid and show you how to simplify your skincare routine with the right products. Ready for hydrated, plump, and fresh skin? What does hyaluronic acid do? Alright, let this fancy name not scare you! It may sound like something straight out of the periodic table, but it’s actually something your skin already makes on its own (yes, it’s true!) Hyaluronic acid keeps your face naturally fresh, soft, and bouncy. But as we age, deal with stress and sleepless nights, our skin’s natural hyaluronic acid levels drop, making it feel dry, dull, and tired.

It hydrates the skin without entering the bloodstream. If you have very sensitive skin or new reactions, discuss it with your doctor for reassurance. 2. Does hyaluronic acid darken skin? No, hyaluronic acid does not darken skin. It simply adds hydration and makes your skin look healthier and plumper. If darkening happens, it’s usually due to sun exposure or another product, not hyaluronic acid. 3. Is hyaluronic acid good for dry skin? Yes, it’s excellent for dry skin. Hyaluronic acid pulls moisture into the skin and keeps it there, helping dryness, flakiness, and tightness feel calmer and more comfortable. 4. Does hyaluronic acid cause acne? No, hyaluronic acid doesn’t cause acne. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and hydrates without clogging pores. If you break out, it may be due to other ingredients in your routine or an overly heavy moisturizer layered on top. 5. Is hyaluronic acid good for sensitive skin? Yes, hyaluronic acid is gentle and usually suits sensitive skin. It soothes dryness and strengthens moisture levels without irritation. Always patch-test if your skin reacts easily.
