Hyperpigmentation: Causes, Types and Skincare Routine
hassan nordine
Hyperpigmentation happens when some areas of the skin produce more pigment than others. This can create uneven patches, brown marks or darker zones on the face and body.
It can be caused by several factors: sun exposure, post-acne marks, irritation, hormonal changes, pollution and aging. Some skin tones are also more prone to visible pigmentation after inflammation.
The best approach is to combine gentle exfoliation, brightening ingredients and daily sun protection. Harsh routines can make the skin more reactive, so the goal is to support the skin barrier while targeting uneven tone gradually.
