Hyperpigmentation - hyperpigmentation refers to uneven skin tone, or color usually seen in patches sporadically or even masking the face. The skin produces melanin, a brown-ish pigmented protein, in an attempt to protect itself from trauma. This will happen whenever the skin feels as though it is under duress. Genetics can play a role, as the genetic data in the DNA of the cells is passed down and some people are more vulnerable to hyper pigmentation than others.
Antioxidants play a big role in cellular repair, but they also help the skin deal with stress and trauma –making these ingredients the skin’s first defense. If there is a lack of antioxidants in the skin, melanin will be produced as a secondary defense. Supplementing with a wide variety of Antioxidants will help lessen the amount of melanin being produced.
In addition, the lymphatic system disposes of excess melanin and massage techniques have proven to release excess melanin that has gotten “stuck” in layers of skin. A combination of techniques and ingredients can be used to even out skin tone remarkably and safely. Ingredients that provide antioxidant protection and inhibit melanin production, along with treatments that help process excess melanin will significantly reduce hyperpigmentation. |
