Battling with areas of pigmentation? Here's what you can do to treat it.
Pigmentation is a common skin concern that affects many of us, but you don't have to put up with it forever. There are options you can take to both minimise and prevent pigmentation from forming, and treatments available to improve the appearance of any dark spots that already exist.
What causes pigmentation?
Sun exposure is a common cause of hyperpigmentation on areas that frequently see the sun, such as our hands and face.
Melasma, meanwhile, is believed to be caused by hormonal changes such as pregnancy. Certain medications can also cause hyperpigmentation.
