Understanding the Unique Characteristics of Skin of Color: Differences in Melanin and Skin Structure and how Cota Skincare products can help

Skin of color, also known as ethnically diverse skin, has unique characteristics that differ from those of lighter skin tones. Due to variations in melanin and skin structure, people with skin of color require targeted skincare routines and products to address common concerns. Cota Skincare understands these unique needs and has developed a range of products specifically designed to meet them.

Melanin Differences

Melanin is the pigment that gives color to the skin. People with skin of color have more melanin than those with lighter skin tones, and their melanocytes produce more melanin per cell. While this increased melanin production provides some natural protection against the harmful effects of UV radiation, it also makes skin of color more prone to developing hyperpigmentation, or dark spots, in response to UV exposure, inflammation, or injury.

Cota Skincare's 24K Gold Skin Brightening Serum is a targeted treatment that can help reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone. Formulated with alpha-arbutin, a natural skin brightener, and Gold Leaf, antioxidant properties that can help reduce the damage caused by free radicals, which are responsible for aging and skin damage. This serum can help lighten dark spots and prevent new ones from forming.

Skin Structure Differences

In addition to variations in melanin production, skin of color has unique structural differences that affect its appearance and function. For example, skin of color tends to have a thicker dermis, which can make it more resistant to wrinkling and sagging as it ages but also make it more prone to developing keloids.

Cota Skincare's Collagen Mask is specially formulated to address the unique needs of skin of color around the delicate eye area. This cream contains caffeine, which helps reduce puffiness and dark circles, and argireline, a peptide that helps relax facial muscles and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The cream also contains hyaluronic acid, which helps hydrate and plump the skin, and shea butter, which helps soothe and protect the delicate skin around the eyes.
