Understanding Pigmentation

Pigmentation refers to the tan/brown colouring of the skin, which can be affected by various factors such as sun exposure, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions. Uneven skin tone, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation are common concerns that can impact one's confidence and overall skin health.

Causes of Pigmentation

Pigmentation issues arise due to an overproduction of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin colour. Factors contributing to this include UV radiation, hormonal imbalances, post-inflammatory responses (such as acne), and genetic predispositions. Specific problems include melasma, solar dyschromia, ephelides, solar lentigines and lichen planus pigmentosus.

The Importance of Appropriate Skincare

Addressing pigmentation early can prevent it from becoming more pronounced and difficult to manage. It is evermore important to avoid ingredients that can irritate the skin and lead to more pigmentation, and ensure adequate sun protection.
