Decoding Skin Pigmentation: Understanding the Shades of You

Pigmentation in skincare primarily refers to any discolouration or dark patches on the skin. An affliction that can impact anyone, skin pigmentation disorders aren’t gender-specific, which is why our products cater to all skin types.

Tracing the Roots: Unveiling the Causes of Skin Pigmentation Disorders

The journey to managing skin pigmentation starts with understanding its triggers. Common culprits include sun damage, exposure to UV light, hormonal changes, certain medications and inflammation or wounds.

In the intricate dance of pigmentation, two types of melanin play lead roles: Eumelanin and Pheomelanin.

Eumelanin, in shades of brown and black, acts as the skin’s protective shield, limiting the penetration of harmful UV rays and reducing the production of reactive oxygen radicals that could potentially harm cells and DNA.

On the other hand, Pheomelanin, with its hues of yellow and red, provides limited UV protection and can even stimulate the production of reactive oxygen radicals, leading to potential skin damage. An imbalance in these melanin types may result in pigmentation disorders.
