Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation refers to dark spots or patches caused by excess melanin, often triggered by sun exposure, lingering acne marks or shifting hormone levels.
If you have ever noticed dark spots lingering long after a breakout, or patches that deepen in the sun, you have met hyperpigmentation. It simply means certain areas of your skin are producing extra melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. It is incredibly common, completely harmless, and nothing to feel self conscious about.
The usual triggers are sun exposure, old acne marks and hormonal shifts. The good news is that it often fades with patience and care:
- Wear sunscreen daily to stop spots darkening
- Try brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide
Consistency matters far more than any miracle product here. To build a steady routine that supports even, glowing skin, take a peek at our skincare basics for beginners.
