Have you ever wondered why your skin has extra pigmentation or looks a little bit discoloured in some areas? The answer is skin pigmentation.
Your skin can become darker or lighter in some areas because of changes in your body’s production of melanin; a natural pigment that gives your skin, hair, and eyes their own unique colour.
What causes skin pigmentation?
There are a variety of reason for your skin to have pigmentation, from your genes to sun exposure, you can never know how your skin reacts to different things.
Your skin pigmentation is determined by the balance of melanin in your skin. This can shift depending on your hormones, interactions with other cells in your body, the impact of certain genes, and more.
Skin pigmentation can come about for many reasons, such as –
