Mindy Kaling, 44, reveals she ‘struggles’ with hyperpigmentation and acne… after her 30lb weight loss won her a swimsuit collaboration

Mindy Kaling has revealed that she has a problem she is struggling with.

“I’ve always struggled with hyperpigmentation and I always try to find products that help with my acne scars and dark spots but don’t also change my skin tone,” the writer said. “I feel incredibly lucky to be someone celebrated for my dark brown skin.”

Hyperpigmentation causes patches of skin to appear darker than the surrounding skin.
