Hyperpigmentation

Skin Care Solutions for Hyperpigmentation

Hyper-pigmentation gives an uneven tone to skin and is usually caused by overexposure to the sun. Every tone of skin contains melanin, which is the pigment that protects our skin from the sun. When exposed to the sun, the production of melanin increases, which is why our skin tans. Skin with smaller amounts of melanin, like lighter toned skin, is more prone to burning and damage. Hyper-pigmentation is the over production of melanin within parts of the skin, which leads to uneven and unbalanced appearance of skin tone.

Hyper-pigmentation is a factor that comes hand in hand with premature skin aging. Traditional forms of remedy for hyper-pigmentation have never been very effective. For example, instead of looking into treatment or prevention, many who suffer from hyper-pigmentation cover up instead. Too many women have resorted to using layers of cover up and foundation make up to create an illusion of an even skin tone. However, excessive make up is detrimental to facial skin. Applying too much can suffocate your cells, and visually, if applied to fine lines and wrinkles, make-up can act as a highlighter of facial flaws.
