Let us know why pigmentation occurs and how it can be controlled...

Why does pigmentation occur?

1. Sun Exposure

When we stay in the sun for a long time without applying sunscreen, the UV rays of the sun affect our skin, causing dark spots and tanning and taking away the beauty of the skin.

2. Hormonal changes

When women are pregnant or have conditions like menopause, they experience hormonal changes which can increase pigmentation. Sometimes the effect of medicines can also cause dark spots on the skin.

3. Wrong skincare products

Using too many harsh or strong skincare products can also cause pigmentation on the skin. These products damage the skin and can leave spots.

4. Genetic 

If someone in your family has a problem of pigmentation (genetics), then it can happen to you too. Genes also play an important role in this problem. In such a situation, it is important to take care in advance.

Ways to avoid pigmentation

1. Apply sunscreen

To avoid sun rays, apply sunscreen of SPF 30 or more daily. This protects your skin from UV rays and prevents pigmentation.

2. Healthy diet

Eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins C and E. These keep your skin healthy from within and help in reducing pigmentation.

3. Soft skincare routine

Avoid over-scratching your skin or using harsh products. Use mild and soothing skincare products to soothe the skin.

4. Aloe vera gel or lemon

Applying aloe vera gel on the skin can reduce pigmentation and cool the skin. Lemon has natural bleaching properties, which can lighten pigmentation. Just keep in mind to avoid sunlight after applying it.

5. Drink plenty of water

To keep your skin hydrated, drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day. This keeps your skin healthy and glowing. Water can protect the skin from many problems.
