The pigment melanin gives our skin protection against harmful ultraviolet rays. Melanin production can increase or decrease beyond normal, creating a change in the skin colour. The overproduction of melanin, or hyperpigmentation (dark spots), is related to sun exposure (direct sunlight and artificial sunlight), acne scarring, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiency or medications.

Pigmented skin can dull, uneven and lack lustre leaving tired and old, brightening your skin is proven to have an anti-aging effect on the skin. Prevention in much easier than cure as stubborn pigmentation may require some patience.
