One of the most asked questions everyone has when the summer begins is how do I treat discoloration? From dark spots to blemishes, damage due to the sun, and much more, we’ve seen it all here at ARM Pearl Fairness. That is because Skin pigmentation is one of the most common skin conditions in the world.
Today, we are going to talk about the four different types of pigmentation, what causes them, and how they can be treated!
What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition where melanin is overproduced in certain areas of the skin, causing discoloration in our skin tone. Whenever our skin feels senses danger from outside, we get discoloration, tan, and post-inflammatory pigmentation as a form of defense mechanism.
How Pigmentation is Formed?
In order to understand pigmentation, we need to understand melanocytes first. The Melanocyte is a microorganism that lives in the basal layer of the skin and is responsible for pigmentation. It converts an amino acid into patronizing which in turn gets converted into melanin ( pigment). For a better understanding, think of the melanocyte as a factory that produces pigment, the skin makes use of melanocytes for protection. Then Keratinocytes are the trucks that position pigment on the upper layers of the skin.
Our skin cells are constantly moving up to the layers of the skin. Dead proteins and melanin are constantly building up on the surface of the skin.

Age/Sun Spots – These are Flat spots ranging from light to dark brown in color. These are mainly caused by sun exposure over time.
Freckles – They are Small brown spots brought on, during childhood—a genetic condition.
How To Get Rid Of Pigmentation?
It is possible to get rid of pigmentation however in some cases, it’s not always possible.
Pigmentation is a very complex skin condition and sometimes it occurs so deeply within the skin that it can be really difficult to treat. The success of getting rid of pigmentation is based on an individual’s skin type and tolerance, and probably most importantly how dedicated they are to improving it and sticking to a regimen persistently. The most important thing to know is that even if you do get rid of your pigmentation completely, there’s a good chance you’ll have to continue a proper pigment brightening and preventing skincare regimen from ARM Pearl. as it can easily creep back up if you’re not staying on top of it due to pigmentation having memory.
