Removing pigmentation spots? Discover the best serums and creams for even skin. With the right products, you can fade dark spots and visibly improve your complexion.
What are pigmentation spots?
Pigment spots, also known as age spots, are dark skin discolourations. They are caused by an accumulation of melanin. They range from small spots to larger discolourations.
They often appear on the face, hands and décolleté. Although they are harmless, many people want to reduce pigment spots on the face for an even complexion.
How do pigment spots appear?
The appearance of pigment spots can have several causes.
- Sunlight: Sun exposure is a major cause of pigmentation spots. UV radiation stimulates the production of melanin, which can lead to dark spots on the skin. Without proper sun protection, these spots can worsen and remain permanently visible.
- Pregnancy: Hormonal fluctuations can cause pregnancy mask (melasma). These are dark discolourations on the face, often appearing on the forehead, cheeks and upper lip.
- Hormones: Hormonal changes, such as due to contraception or menopause, can affect pigmentation in the skin, causing spots.
- Skin damage: Wounds, acne or inflammation can lead to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This means that after damage, the skin produces extra melanin, leaving dark spots on the affected areas.
- Vitiligo: A skin condition where the skin actually loses pigment, causing lighter spots. This is because the pigment cells in certain areas produce less or no more melanin.
