Understanding Pigmentation, Uneven Skin Tone & Dullness
Pigmentation, dark spots and uneven skin tone occur when melanin – the pigment that gives our skin its colour – is produced or distributed unevenly within the skin. This can create areas that appear darker than the surrounding skin, ranging from individual spots to larger or more widespread patches of pigmentation.
​
There are many reasons pigmentation can develop. Sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, acne, injury and genetics can all play a role, and different types of pigmentation can behave very differently.
Dullness is slightly different. Rather than an increase in pigment, the skin may simply appear less bright or radiant, often alongside dryness, dehydration, uneven texture or a build-up of dead skin cells.
​
Understanding what is causing the discolouration is important, as the most appropriate treatment will depend on the type of pigmentation, your skin type and how your skin responds.
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE
Common concerns
Piamentation and uneven skin tone can appear in different ways. It may affect small areas or be more widespread, and
can make the skinox duited andless even.
Sun Damage & Age Spots
Flat areas of increased pigmentation that develop over time, particularly on areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands and décolletage.​
​​
​
Freckles
Small, flat areas of increased pigment that are often influenced by genetics and become darker or more noticeable following sun exposure.
​
​​​
Melasma
Patchy areas of pigmentation, commonly affecting the cheeks, forehead and upper lip. Hormones and sun exposure can both play an important role in triggering and worsening melasma.​
Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation
Darkened areas that remain after inflammation or injury to the skin, commonly following acne, picking, irritation or some skin conditions.
​
​
Uneven Tone & Dullness
Skin may appear less bright or even due to a combination of pigmentation, dehydration, dryness, uneven texture and a build-up of dead skin cells.​
