Dark spots, age spots, liver spots, scars, blemishes, and other words you use to define an uneven and discolored skin tone come under this broad term we know as—hyperpigmentation. These skin concerns occur when excess melanin, a pigment responsible for giving color to your skin, is produced more than usual. The overproduction of melanin leaves brown patches on certain spots, making those areas look darker than the skin around them. 

Many factors, including sun damage, hormonal fluctuations, medical conditions, trauma, injury,  and acne, can contribute to the appearance of hyperpigmentation.  

If you have hyperpigmentation, don’t feel alone because it is a common skin concern that affects a large population, especially women, and the plight of tackling it is understandable.

Before we jump in to find the ways and treatments of concealing and calming hyperpigmentation, it is crucial to understand its causes. Let us start from there:

Triggers for Skin Pigmentation

These are a few significant reasons for hyperpigmentation:

• Sun Spots: There is no shortage of reasons to avoid prolonged sun exposure if you want to maintain your skin’s wellbeing and vitality. UVA and UVB rays accelerate the aging process, exert oxidative stress, damage the moisture barrier, and cause sunspots.  What happens is, the ultraviolet rays penetrate deep inside the skin layers, speeding up the production of melanin pigments, which become clumped in certain areas, leaving behind dark spots. 
• Melasma: Chloasma or Melasma is a skin condition in which prominent dark pigments appear on your face and stomach. Hormonal changes and fluctuations are the main triggers for this form of hyperpigmentation. Melasma most commonly happens during pregnancy. That’s why it is sometimes referred to as the “mask of pregnancy.” 
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation: This kind of hyperpigmentation occurs due to an injury, trauma, or response to post inflammatory healing. Melanin is a protective pigment. It cures your skin after it goes through an injury. When your skin suffers from a lesion, breakout, eczema, or inflammation, the body produces more melanin on the injured spot to heal it. Hence the scar or a blemish.  
• Medical Conditions: Hyperpigmentation can be a symptom of skin conditions like Addison’s disease and hemochromatosis that increase melanin production. It is better to check with a dermatologist if you are uncertain about the underlying cause of hyperpigmentation.

Which Natural Ingredients Help Lighten the Appearance of Hyperpigmentation?

• Vitamin C: Vitamin C is an effective cleanser and exfoliator that reduces the look of discoloration and blemishes by removing dead cells. It is also an excellent antioxidant that provides the skin with a protective barrier against UV rays’ damaging effects—the leading cause of hyperpigmentation.
