What is Pigmentation?
Skin pigmentation refers to the natural colouring or discolouration of the skin, hair, or other tissues in living organisms. It is primarily caused by the presence or absence of a pigment called melanin. Melanin, produced by specialised cells called melanocytes, determines the colour of our skin, hair, and eyes.
The production levels of melanin generally determine the colour of your skin. For instance, higher levels of melanin result in darker pigmentation, while lower levels lead to lighter pigmentation or colour change. Additionally, the disorders of pigmentation include hyperpigmentation (excessive darkening) and hypopigmentation (reduced pigmentation). Understanding the different skin pigmentations and their causes is crucial for investing in the right skincare products and combating pigmentation.
What Causes Pigmentation?
Before we get deep into understanding `How to reduce pigmentation' or `How to prevent pigmentation,' let us first explore the causes of different pigmentations on your skin.
Skin pigmentation is influenced by various factors that can cause changes in the production and distribution of melanin in the body, resulting in different pigmentation patterns. The primary causes include genetics, sun exposure, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions. Genetic factors determine baseline melanin levels and distribution, influencing natural skin, hair, and eye colour.
However, sun exposure triggers melanin production as a protective response, leading to tanning or the formation of sunspots. Excessive sun exposure also leads to stubborn hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Hormonal changes, such as those during pregnancy or with certain diseases can affect melanin production. Medical conditions like vitiligo or melasma disrupt melanin production or distribution, causing patches of hypo- or hyperpigmentation.
