Everything You Need To Know About Hyperpigmentation And How To Treat It
Summer’s nearly over and while memories of those long days in the sunshine are fresh in your mind, it’s time to talk about your skin. The sunnier weather comes with a whole range of skin-care challenges like sun damage and Hyperpigmentation.
The cause of hyperpigmentation depends on the type - sun exposure, heat, skin inflammation like acne post Inflammatory acne marks and eczema, pregnancy and hormonal changes are all contributing factors.
These are the most common types of hyperpigmentation:
Pigment spots (sun spots and age spots)
Commonly appearing on the face and hands, pigment spots are small, flat, darkened patches that appear on skin with sun overexposure.
Melasma
A side-effect of hormonal changes is a condition called melasma, where larger patches of hyperpigmentation develop mainly on the cheeks, nose, forehead and upper lip; large dark patches are most common in women, especially during and after pregnancy.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
PIH appears as flat spots of discolouration that range in colour from pink to red, brown or black, depending on skin tone and the depth of discolouration.
These traditionally appear after a post-inflammatory skin condition, such as acne or eczema. Although all skin types can get PIH, it is more prevalent in darker tones of skin, and both men and women are equally susceptible.
Most people experience hyperpigmentation at some point in their life without even realising it; treating it effectively with Eucerin’s new Anti-Pigment range can help you achieve visible results in 2 weeks.

If you apply a product with ingredients that reduce melanin production, you’re able to stop it from producing in the first place.
Hyperpigmentation occurs when your skin produces an enzyme called Tyrosinase which is responsible for the production of melanin (the pigment that gives skin its colour); by reducing the Tyrosinase activity, melanin production will be reduced giving your skin pigmentation a little more balance.
