When Your Skin Is Hyperpigmented...
Hyperpigmented skin is usually the
result of photosensitizing agents or hormonal changes in the body such as
pregnancy and menopause. Excessive sun exposure and lack of sun protection
always make this condition worse. Although not all pigmentary problems can be
corrected, particularly those that are genetic and positioned deep in the
dermis, a great deal of improvement can be accomplished provided the
pigmentation is situated in the upper layer of the epidermis.
