Frequently Asked Questions
What is pigmentation?
Pigmentation refers to the colour of your skin, which is determined by a pigment called melanin. When melanin production becomes uneven or excessive, it leads to dark patches, spots, or overall discoloration. Pigmentation issues can appear anywhere on the face and body, often worsening with sun exposure, hormonal changes, or inflammation.
What causes pigmentation?
Pigmentation can be triggered by various factors, including:
Sun Damage (Hyperpigmentation) – UV rays stimulate melanin production, leading to sunspots and age spots.
Melasma – A common pigmentation disorder caused by hormonal changes (pregnancy, contraceptives, or hormone therapy), often appearing as brown or gray patches on the face.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Dark spots left behind after acne breakouts, burns, or skin trauma.
Freckles & Genetic Pigmentation – Some pigmentation is inherited, appearing as small dark spots from an early age.
How can I prevent skin pigmentation problems?
While completely preventing all skin pigmentation problems isn’t always possible, you can significantly minimise your risk. Daily sunscreen use (SPF 30 or higher, reapplied every two hours) is crucial, as UV rays are a major trigger. Be gentle with your skin, avoiding harsh scrubs and picking at blemishes, which can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Understanding your skin’s tendencies and incorporating brightening ingredients like Vitamin C and niacinamide into your skincare routine can also help. For personalised advice and treatment options, especially if you have concerns or a family history of skin issues, consult a dermatologist.
