How to Defend Against Hyperpigmentation in 4 Ways

For a long time, wrinkles used to be the number one skin concern of women everywhere.  But recently, dark spots have become the “new wrinkle”.  Freckles, sun spots, and other dark spots have become the top culprit women want to correct in their skin.  All of these kinds of dark spots and patches are types of hyperpigmentation.  The good news?  They are all able to be treated to some degree. 

What is Hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation is something that many women (and men) struggle with.  It is a skin condition that can make us look and feel older than we really are.  So what causes these pesky patches of darkness exactly?  The perpetrator behind it all is actually part of the defense mechanism of your skin: the production of melanin.  Melanin is the pigment that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color.  It also protects our cells from damage caused by things like UV radiation from the sun, high temperatures, and chemical stresses.  Many people don’t realize that the hormone Estrogen is one of the biggest triggers for pigmentation.  It’s equal, if not more damaging than “trauma” done to skin through sun exposure.  Hyperpigmentation sometimes won’t come to the surface of your skin right away, making it difficult to determine the exact cause of it. 

How to Prevent It

Including products such as Vitamin C serum, pigment corrector, and retinol in your beauty routine can protect your skin and slow down the production of melanin.  Vitamin C protects from environmental damage, while a pigment corrector or regulator can limit the creation of Tyrosinase, a melanin catalyst.
