Be comfortable with the skin you’re in, with the help of skincare products
Lazing around in the sun is the epitome of relaxation for many of us. And, while there’s nothing wrong with kicking back and chilling like this, it does put your skin at risk. This is why the skincare products you choose are essential – as they’ll help reduce pigmentation on your face.
What is skin pigmentation? And, how do skincare products target it?
Pigmentation, or hyperpigmentation, (same thing) is a condition that darkens areas of your skin. They can be large or small and, while not harmful, pigmentation is visible. It will make your complexion look unhealthy and uneven (which is part of what our skincare products target).
This process happens thanks to pigment-producing cells, melanocytes. When there’s damage to these cells, when pushed into overdrive, they produce excessive melanin and darkness. Temporarily, you might want to cover this with concealer (and it might do a fine job), but anti-ageing skincare products will work to reverse (and prevent) it.
As well as exposure to the sun, other factors can lead to hyperpigmentation. They include hormonal changes, improper hair removal, allergic reactions and genetic disposition – all, of which, the best skincare products can fight the effects of.
Take a proactive approach to reducing hyperpigmentation, starting with your skincare products.
- Switch to anti-ageing skincare products
First, get your skincare products right, so your shelf is stocked with items that target hyperpigmentation. For example, in our skincare products, there are ingredients like the natural, skin-brightening Vitamin C and Neora-exclusive blend SAL-14™ which fights skin discolouration. SIG-1273® is another scientifically-engineered molecule that boosts the skin’s ability to combat discolouration. Our skincare products are designed to minimise all signs of ageing – and hyperpigmentation is the one most of us forget.
- Make minor lifestyle changes.
Make sunscreen a daily habit, even when it’s cloudy. Take your vitamins and check the side effects of any medication you’re taking. The contraceptive pill, for example, can make hyperpigmentation worse. Illnesses and skin issues like acne and eczema can cause skin injuries, so keep these conditions in check.
- A clean, green diet
As well as changing to anti-ageing skincare products and being conscious about the lifestyle factors that accelerate hyperpigmentation, watch your diet. Avoid food that’s high in sugar, refined grains, sodium, inflammatory foods and chemical additives. Stick to a healthy, balanced diet full of foods that naturally fade skin damage (to help the good work of your skincare products). Eat leafy green vegetables, red fruits, grapes and drink green tea.
