Dark Spots/ Pigmentation
Have you ever noticed those stubborn little patches that appear on your face, refusing to go away? Those dark spots are caused by extra pigment piling up in certain areas. Dark spots and pigmentation are related, but they are not exactly the same.
-
Dark spots are a specific kind of hyperpigmentation on small and well-defined areas that appear darker than the surrounding skin.
-
Pigmentation refers to the uneven skin color changes in broad patches or areas determined by melanin. It includes a range of discolorations such as melasma and hyperpigmentation.
Although they both are super common and can be triggered by many common factors, with the right care, you can fade them away.
Causes of Dark Spots and Pigmentation
-
Sun Exposure: Regular and long exposure to the sun causes sunspots in areas like the hands, face, and arms.
-
Hormones: Hormonal changes, like during pregnancy or if you’re on birth control, can cause dark patches called melasma. These are bigger, uneven spots that often appear on your face and can get worse if you’re out in the sun too much.
-
Aging: As you get older, the cells that make pigment uneven. This can cause small dark patches called age spots, usually where the sun hits your skin most. Over time, these spots become more noticeable.
-
Genetics: Sometimes, dark spots run in the family. Your genes can make your skin produce pigment more easily or unevenly, so even with less sun, you might get spots more often.
