There are many ways to remove your dark spots. Not everything works equally well. Want to know how to do it properly? Then read on. Pigmentation spots come in different shapes and sizes. Various factors such as age and skin type can increase pigmentation. For some, it is more disturbing than others. There are various ways of removing your pigmentation marks. You may already have tried smearing some lemon or apple vinegar on your skin (without success). However, it is not wise to experiment on your own without the advice of a professional. Fortunately, there are ways to safely get rid of your dark spots. In this article, we're going to talk about everything surrounding pigmentation.

Starting with, what is pigment anyway? Another word for pigment is melanin. Melanin is a colouring agent made by your body. It is found in your hair, the iris of your eye and your skin. The purpose of pigment is to protect your skin from UV radiation.
You may have noticed that the pigment spots are mostly present on your face. This is due to prolonged exposure to the sun. By sitting in the sun too often, for example, your body can produce extra pigment. This is also called hyperpigmentation. The skin does this to create an extra protective layer. Furthermore, hyperpigmentation occurs in people who are somewhat older. This is due to the ageing process and is called age spots.

Remove pigmentation spots 'naturally

Let's go back to using home remedies. Take the example of removing your dark spots with lemon. Lemon acid has a low pH value, which can make your skin very irritated, leading to more pigmentation(Be Pure With Valerie, 2018). OK, you didn't apply lemon to your skin, you applied apple cider vinegar. It can be done, right? While apple cider vinegar can have its benefits, it's important that you never apply apple cider vinegar directly to your skin. This can also greatly irritate and damage the skin(Jan Magazine, 2018). If you want to try a DIY, it is always important to discuss it with a dermatologist(Real Simple, 2019). Everyone is different and every skin also reacts differently to various remedies. What helps one person may not help another.

Pigmentation removal dark skin

It is important to know that every skin is different. There is also a difference between fair skin and dark skin. Someone with dark skin has a greater chance of pigmentation(Gezondheidsplein, 2019). This is because a dark skin has more pigment than a light skin. It is therefore important to look carefully at which products are suitable for your skin.
