What is Pigmentation on the Face?

Pigmentation on the face refers to the coloring of your skin. It occurs when melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color, is produced in excess or unevenly distributed. This can result in dark pigmentation on the face, including pigmentation spots and patches. Common types of pigmentation include sun pigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (often from acne), and melasma.

Types of Pigmentation

• Sun Pigmentation: Caused by prolonged exposure to UV rays.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: Dark spots that appear after an injury or inflammation, such as acne.
• Melasma: Often triggered by hormonal changes and appears as brown patches.

How to Reduce Pigmentation

Reducing pigmentation involves a combination of skincare products and lifestyle changes:

• Sunscreen for Pigmentation: Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen can prevent further sun damage.
• Pigmentation Creams: Products containing ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and niacinamide can help lighten dark spots.
• Moisturiser for Pigmentation: Keeping your skin hydrated can improve its overall appearance and aid in reducing pigmentation.
• Face Wash for Pigmentation: Using a gentle cleanser that targets uneven skin tone can be beneficial.
