Don’t we all just love to bathe in the sun, soak up the natural sunshine vitamin and simply let the soft touch of the golden rays embrace our skin? But the catch here is that it isn’t a golden opportunity which when seized gives us fruitful results, rather too much sun exposure crops up on the skin in the form of uneven skin tone. Well, any guesses? It's Skin Pigmentation, we are talking about! 

What is Skin Pigmentation?

Hyper-pigmentation is the second most common skin woe plaguing men and women alike. It usually occurs due to excessive melanin production in the skin and leads to the darkening of the skin colour and the formation of dark-coloured spots or patches on certain areas of the face and the body. Although the prime culprit behind pigmentation is excessive unprotected sun exposure (ultraviolet radiation), it can also occur due to acne, hormonal changes, age, injury to the skin, heredity, pregnancy, medications, chemotherapy, or skin inflammation due to wrong usage of skin care or beauty products. Pigmentation can also develop in the form of age spots, freckles, sunspots, liver spots, pregnancy marks, melasma etc.

When used correctly, i.e., by diluting it with a suitable carrier oil, they do wonders for the skin, clearing away imperfections and bestowing you with a crystal-clear radiant complexion.
