Why does hyperpigmentation arise and can it be lessened or prevented?
Hyperpigmentation is a reaction of the body to sun or ultraviolet (UV) exposure, resulting in the concentration of darker pigmentation in certain areas of the body. The substance responsible for giving color, known as ‘melanin,’ is produced by skin cells as a response to damage.
Sun Spots also recognized as liver spots, these are the most frequently forms of pigmentation. They appear on sun-exposed areas like the face, arms, and hands. Facial pigmentation can also arise due to excessive use of cosmetics and peels that sensitize the skin to light. Melasma could be triggered by hormonal changes and commonly appears on the stomach or face, although it can emerge on any part of the body. It may also result from factors like birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation This type of pigmentation is the aftermath of healed acne spots and similar blemishes. And then, there are Age Spots.
What are Age Spots?
Age Spots can occur after extended exposure to UV light. Melanin accumulates in specific areas and is produced in higher quantities. This leads to the appearance of age spots as one ages.
While aging is a natural process, pigmented spots or age spots CAN POTENTIALLY BE DIMINISHED OR AVOIDED!
Pigment spots primarily stem from heightened exposure to UV damage. Nonetheless, there may be other non-disease factors that trigger hyperpigmentation, such as:
- pregnancy, leading to dark patches on the neck, under the bust, and abdomen,
- PCOS
- menopause
- other hormonal triggers that can also cause darkening of intimate areas such as inner thighs and other body parts.
While medical conditions necessitate professional treatment, an Ayurvedic supplement could offer a viable option for addressing aging, sun damage, UV-induced pigmentation, and potentially uneven skin tone caused by PCOS and hormonal triggers.
Many individuals resort to hydroquinone creams with retinoids or ‘bleaching’ creams in an attempt to externally fade away age spots. However, this can heighten skin sensitivity to UV damage, resulting in a cycle of issues (some body areas, using these creams might not be practical).
Common over-the-counter products include ingredients that could increase surface skin sensitivity, such as: steroids deoxyarbutin glycolic acid alpha hydroxy acid kojic acid. These creams could potentially have adverse effects on the skin in the long term and may lead to:
- skin rashes
- irritation
- sores
- stinging
- burning,
- inflammation
- acne
- possibly resulting in scars
- thinning of the skin
- redness
- excessive dryness or xeroderma
- contact dermatitis.
While natural oils and other safe skincare solutions may aid in managing pigmentation appearance over time, imagine if there were an internal approach to addressing externally visible pigmentation.
The Gut-Skin Connection and Aging
This is where Ayurveda provides a special approach, not by applying on your skin, but by focusing on your gut!
Any problems with digestion can quickly affect the skin, showing how closely connected the gut and skin are. This connection between the gut and the skin, referred to as the gut-skin axis. According to Ayurveda, the gut acts as the body’s “brain,” influencing numerous bodily functions and sensations, including the skin, which is the body’s largest organ.
As we age, our digestive fire, known as ‘agni’ in Ayurveda, weakens alongside the skin’s ability to fend off damage. Yet, beyond adopting a wholesome diet, how else can our digestive system contribute to skin health?
