When some areas of your skin are darker than the rest of your skin it’s called hyperpigmentation or skin pigmentation. This pigmentation problem can be seen on your face, neck, armpit, hands and many other places of your body. This problem can occur due to exposure in the sun or for some kind of medical condition. Hyperpigmentation is a very common skin problem. This can affect people of any skin type. Even though it’s not possible to prevent all kinds of pigmentation, it’s possible to minimize or control this by following a few things. Let’s find out what these things are.
Avoid direct sunlight
Always use an umbrella along with sunscreen while going out in harsh sunlight. This can prevent the skin from harmful rays of sun.
Don’t pick on the skin of wound
We often tend to pick on the dead skin that accumulated on the cuts of legs or hands after a few days of healing. To prevent pigmentation you should never do this. The wounded place will heal automatically.
Use vitamin C in skincare
Vitamin C is a nutrient filled antioxidant which visibly lightens spots and makes your skin brighter.
Use SPF
Use a sunscreen that has SPF 15. Even during the winter season.
