Perfect complexion and flawless skin are the desire of every person. Factors like hormonal changes, sun exposure, and free radicals often damage the skin. This results in dark spots and patchy pigmentation, making us look older. Pigmentation can be light or dark. While not life-threatening, it can certainly impact our confidence. Pigmentation becomes darker and more permanent with sun exposure, pollution, and age. The UV radiation from the sun can be extremely damaging as it penetrates deep into our skin and triggers pigmentation. This results in skin tanning, sunburns, dark patches, and even premature aging.
It is not possible to shield ourselves from the sun. For those with field work or outdoor work, persistent and gradual pigmentation is very much a threat. Skin will start looking dark and dull with signs of premature aging. Experts always recommend using sunscreen whether outdoors or indoors to protect our skin. Pigmentation not only affects our face but also other body parts such as the back, arms, and neck. Pigmentation can also be from hormonal imbalances triggered during childbirth or contraceptive pills.
Pigmentation is classified as superficial, deep, or mixed. So, treatment for pigmentation is based on the severity of the skin issue.
