WHAT IS HYPERPIGMENTATION & WHAT CAUSES DARK SPOTS?

Did you know that people of color are normally more affected by hyperpigmentation than those with lighter skin tones? This is because darker skin tones have more melanin. Melanin is the natural pigment that gives our skin, hair, and eyes their color. 

That’s why hyperpigmentation can appear as darkened patches or spots on the skin that make skin look uneven. There are three types of hyperpigmentation

  • age spots/ dark spots

  • melasma

  • & post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
