Hyperpigmentation

What is it?

Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition where certain areas become darker than the surrounding skin due to excess melanin production. Causes include sun exposure, hormonal changes, acne, and skin irritation, leading to dark spots such as age spots, melasma, or post-acne marks. While it poses no health risks, hyperpigmentation can be cosmetically bothersome, but it can be managed effectively with the right care.

Causes

  • Sun Exposure: UV rays increase melanin production, causing dark spots.
  • Hormonal Changes: Pregnancy, menopause, or contraceptives can trigger melasma.
  • Post-Acne Marks: Inflammation from acne leaves dark spots as the skin heals.
  • Skin Damage: Cuts, burns, or irritation can lead to pigmentation during healing.

Tips

  • Daily Sun Protection: Apply sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily to prevent existing spots from darkening.
  • Gentle Exfoliation: Use the Intensive Whitening Whipped Milk Scrub for soft yet effective exfoliation. Enriched with rice bran extract and papain, it brightens skin, improves texture, and reduces dark spots.
  • Hydration: Keep skin moisturized with the Tranexamic Acid + Vitamin C Lotion. This lotion combines tranexamic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, alpha arbutin, glutathione, and rice bran extract to even out skin tone, reduce pigmentation, and enhance skin’s natural radiance.
  • Avoid Irritation: Steer clear of harsh products or treatments that may worsen discoloration.
