HYPERPIGMENTATION, PIGMENT SPOTS AND MARKS
Don't let pigment spots dampen your spirits! 😎 Age-related pigment spots or "lentigines" are small areas of hyperpigmentation that appear on the skin. They range from light brown to black and are found on sun-exposed areas such as the face and hands. Over time, repeated exposure to the sun leads to the overproduction of melanin (the skin's natural pigment), which is responsible for the appearance of dark spots. As we age, our skin becomes thinner and these patches become more apparent. Protecting your skin can prevent their appearance - it's well-worth the effort!
