Rich South Africans are buying homes in one of the safest countries in Africa
More wealthy South Africans are buying homes in Namibia, ranked as one of the safest countries in Africa, for tax benefits and permanent residency.
That’s where Yearn Skin stands out — a Proudly South African brand created to treat dark marks effectively and gently, using ingredients that work with your skin, not against it.
Why melanin needs a different approach
In deeper skin tones, dark marks tend to appear as brown, purple, or grey patches that linger long after the initial trigger. Harsh treatments can cause more damage, leading to further pigmentation or sensitivity.
“Melanin behaves differently,” says Dr. Fay Samodien, General and Aesthetic Medicine Practitioner and Medical Advisor to Yearn Skin. “You need ingredients that reduce inflammation, regulate pigment production, and respect the skin’s barrier.”
The local brand making real impact
Yearn Skin products are formulated for melanin-rich skin, using clinically-backed ingredients that fade pigmentation and support long-term skin health.
A cult-favourite 3-step routine that fades spots, restores glow, and evens skin tone using Kojic Acid, Niacinamide, and Retinol derivatives. Thousands have seen visible results with consistent use.
Active Brightening Facial Cream:
Winner of multiple beauty awards, this all-in-one brightening moisturiser works to fade pigmentation, hydrate, and strengthen the skin barrier. Its multitasking formula tackles dullness, marks, and texture without irritation — and is a best-seller for a reason.
2 Step Triple Acid Peel At Home Facial Kit:
For deeper resurfacing, this peel combines Glycolic, Lactic, and Salicylic Acids to gently remove dead skin and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion. Designed to be powerful yet safe for melanated skin.
Infused with Caffeine, Hyaluronic Acid, and Peptides, it’s your secret weapon for brighter, firmer-looking under-eyes.
More than just skincare
“Representation in beauty goes beyond foundation shades,” says co-founder Nadia Michael. “It’s about solutions. We created Yearn Skin to meet the real needs of women with deeper skin tones — because our skin deserves better.”
The takeaway
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for hyperpigmentation. But with the right routine — and products made for your skin — clearer, brighter skin is possible.
