Let's talk about hyperpigmentation and dark spots. They're more than just cosmetic concerns – they can trigger anxiety, self-esteem issues, and social pressures, especially in Desi communities where fair skin is often seen as the beauty standard.
But what exactly causes these stubborn patches? Hyperpigmentation occurs when melanin, your skin's pigment, is overproduced in certain areas. This can be due to sun damage, hormonal fluctuations, acne scars, or even certain medications. The result? Uneven skin tone, dark spots, and a dull complexion.
While genetics play a role, there's good news! A consistent skincare routine that combines the right ingredients with healthy lifestyle habits can significantly improve hyperpigmentation and promote an even, radiant tone.
