š Understanding Pigmentation SpotsĀ Ā
Brown spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne marks are caused by an overproduction of melanin, the skinās natural pigment.
This overproduction is often triggered by:
š Excessive sun exposure
š„ Inflammation (acne, harsh exfoliation, picking at blemishes)
𧬠Hormonal changes
š§“ Irritating products
When the skin is irritated, it reacts by producing even more pigment to protect itself, creating a vicious cycle:
the more the skin is stressed, the darker the spots become.Ā Ā

When itās damaged:
-
The skin becomes sensitive, dry, and reactive
-
Spots reappear more quickly
-
Active ingredients canāt penetrate effectively
š Before treating spots, you first need to repair the skin barrier.Ā
