Class in session w Dr.Hani 👩‍⚕️

[@Deemels]

I’ve been spending like that last few months trying to look for vids and treatments for dark circles/periorbital hyperpigmentation and nothing was cutting it, you posted this at the perfect time 😭😭😭

[@shelby-danielle]

Thank you Hani!!!! I love your videos you saved my skin after dealing with hyperpigmentation since high school! I’m 30 and it’s the first time I’ve been able to go out without make up! I’d love a video on retinals or laugh lines ❤️

[@VoteforHani]

aww yay this makes me so happy! adding to the list xx

[@saraiyah6489]

Living in sunny Florida, and never using sunscreen(I honestly thought sunscreen was for white folks) I would try and combat my hyperpigmentation with more hydroquinone and once I stopped using it always comeback. Resulting in a face and neck 2 shades darker than the rest of my body. I was so frustrated for years! Thank God for you shedding light,your regime is the only thing that has worked for me! THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE now are my bumps on my nose, I'm not sure what it's called I think it's some sort of cystic acne under the skin that formed a few years ago, I wasn't sure if I needed SURGERY 😥 please help!

[@taniad2873]

Pls to see Dr. ALEXIS STEPHENS CHANNEL She's a great dermatologist in Florida she deals with skin of color you can watch her and you can see make an appointment and see her in office.. also Hydroquinone can't use for long you have to use it for like 2 or 3 months and use something like Faded you have to wear a sunscreen with SPF 50+ or higher also wear a sun visor dr. ALEXIS Stephens have a video about it ..

[@IWillSayItLouder]

Amazing advice and information here. I’ve suffered from horrible dark eye circles that were acquired after developing an auto immune condition. I went to an immunologist to figure out what I’m allergic to and turns out it was basically every pollen in the world and a few foods. After cutting out those foods and addressing my environmental allergies, my dark circles have lightened tremendously. They’re still a bit dark bc environmental allergies are very difficult to avoid, but they’re at least 70% better and my nose is way less stuffy and I don’t get sore throats from post nasal drip anymore

[@VoteforHani]

very similar to my experience! x

[@VoteforHani]

You are so welcome!

[@SA-nx6cr]

What routine would you recommend for an effective treatment of dark circles ? I know you recommended some products but how should we use them?

[@Shahleena]

Great video! I had no idea that my Rhinitis for which I take daily Fexofenadine for, could be one of the reasons for dark circles. For those of you who want some decent sunscreens (im a makeup & skincare youtuber) look into Korean sunscreens. They are the best and amazing for brown/black skintones as they leave no white cast. Most of them anyway. Canmake Tokyo, Beauty of Joseon, Purito....just a few of the best ones I've tried to recommend to you all and they do not burn the eyes 💕

[@VoteforHani]

yes i take fexo too!! xx

[@wardas5700]

can we get directions on how to apply the acids to the eyes safely please?

[@irrelevance3859]

I love how straightforward and clear your videos are

[@ruqoyyahsiyanbola3670]

Wow! You are so brilliant. I can now relate what is causing my dark circles. Rubbing the eyes always😢

[@lilebegum5939]

Microneedling for hyperpigmentation around the mouth. Hair videos on scalp and dandruff/psorais..needline on thebhair. Best sunblock for kids of colour

I’m only 27 and mine is anatomical factors.. I got under eye filler done which has helped to an extent but it’s definitely still dark circles. It’s inherited also as my dad has dark circles but when I stretch the skin under my eye it definitely goes lighter so I don’t know what to use 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@moniqueuu8777]

Good morning! I have had dark under-eye circles since I was a child. The few pictures my parents have, underneath my eyes are dark. I saw a guy from The Breakfast Club get rid of his and it brought me here.

[@chlxe2000]

Please do a video of your own skin care routine!! Nevertheless; great informative video! Your skin is gorgeous.

[@jmk1962]

Facinating. I love your clear and educated delivery. Surprised you never mentioned sleep or hydration as I thought they were both important in reducing dark circlesor so i was led to believe.

[@VoteforHani]

thank you very much! yes they’re not nearly as implicated in the pathogenesis of dark circles as people would have you believe 🤣

[@uqox]

OMG!!!!!! In my old age and with the increase in my allergies, I began to rub my eyes so much more. Annnnndd, I began to get dark circles. I'm managing my allergies through some antihistamines and intermittent fasting, which lowered my body's inflammation. Your recommendations are pure gold! Love this channel.

[@VoteforHani]

my absolute pleasure!!! i also suffer badly with allergies so daily antihistamines have been a game changer for me ♥️

[@saidoaden9535]

We missed you habo mcn welcome back 🥰

[@VoteforHani]

thank you habo 😭♥️

[@ultimategleelover1]

I think my dark circles should have been an indicator that something was going on with my eyes. My allergies have gotten so wretched the last few years and I've been rubbing them so viciously that I might have triggered my keratoconus. Now I just look like a racoon.

Thanks you for doing this video! For the products you recommended for hyperpigmentation - would they be safe to use around the eye area?

[@aishwaryakarad9759]

hey this was super helpful! I love how your videos explain the biological/chemical processes behind this. I was wondering if you could do a video on Keratosis pilaris and if there's any way to reduce/improve the appearance of it.

I have that on my arms. Moisturize the area a lot and don't wear tight clothes on that area.

yes but just be slow and cautious when trying new stuff out! x

[@ceemaaaa]

Dr Hani comeback!!

[@user-et2ng1qb2m]

Salaam Dr. Hani! Welcome back. I've had dark under eye circles at least since middle school. However, I had dreadful allergies (dust, pollen, grass etc) and I'd rub my eyes savagely until they swell. Could that have been a contributor? Nowadays, I notice when I sleep well for a number of days, my dark circles under my eyes are *significantly reduced (though not completely gone).

[@liawatson5789]

It's blood!

Can we get a plan of action to care for our hyperpigmentation? It's nice to know the causes but knowing joe to treat it would help!

I haven't finished watching this video just yet but her hyperpigmentation routine was the first video that led me to her channel. Search "How To Get Rid Of Hyperpigmentation! | Dr Hani" on KZbin. I'd link but link comments often get hidden

[@kitsomatlhape8461]

Hi Dr. Hani! Love and appreciate your content. I am personally interested in good sunscreens for black, especially dark skinned women🥺… I think one thing that discourages us from wearing sunscreen is how a good majority of them look on us? And we have to pay a premium for ones that don’t look blue/purple. I bought black girl sunscreen but heard another derm say it’s comedogenic and horrible for people like me who are acne prone - so now I’m at my wits end.😭😅

Rubbing isn't good, but does the same happen with a massage?

With the use of Tryronase inhibitors does this reduce the production of Vitamin D3 on the face or body? similarly, will the use of sunscreen also reduce our exposure to Vitamin D3 which is usually lacking in persons with high melanin levels?
