A pigment spot is essentially a pigment formation disorder, known as hyperpigmentation in technical terms, caused by the overproduction of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour. In public awareness, UV radiation is often blamed for it, but there can be numerous other causes for the formation of brown spots. Pigment spots are alterations that differ in colour from the surrounding skin, and can be either darker or lighter, with varying sizes, but they never stick out from the skin's surface.
When the skin is exposed to increased sunlight, its quality deteriorates significantly, it becomes dried out, and the process of skin aging intensifies.
What causes pigment spots to develop
Sunlight is responsible for 80% of the visible signs of skin ageing, so adequate sun protection is a key element to reduce changes associated with skin ageing, such as wrinkles, spots and loss of firmness. Due to age progression, the functioning of pigment-producing systems is loosened, and as a result, pigmentation is strengthened with the appearance of age spots. Hormonal changes, medications, cosmetics, perfumes can also cause unpleasant pigmentation disorders. For many years, the sun's ultraviolet rays (UV) were considered to be the main causes of negative effects, however, recent studies show that infrared radiation (IR-A) is also responsible for skin deterioration.
Their developing can be attributed to external or internal factors alongside hereditary predisposition.
External factors: strong UV light (sunbathing, tanning salons), mechanical effects (e.g., wounds, abrasions, cuts), inappropriate cosmetic procedures (e.g., excessive use of exfoliating agents), chemicals (e.g., perfumes), essential oils (e.g., citrus fruits, bergamot), certain medications (e.g., contraceptives, steroids)
Internal causes: Pregnancy, metabolic disorders (liver, adrenal and gallbladder diseases - their dysfunctions), traces of skin diseases (e.g. acne), menopause, hormonal changes, gynaecological problems (disorders of the uterus and ovaries), old age.
In addition to the physical reasons, it is interesting to examine the psychological aspects as well. Medicine based on Eastern philosophy believes that the diseases observed in our body can actually be traced back to psychological causes.
A common psychological cause of the appearance of pigment spots is repressed anger, annoyance, but also envy and jealousy.. Liver spots appear frequently in the area between the eyebrows. This area is physically the area of the liver, where “angry” thoughts and feelings are concentrated. It is no coincidence that the liver is our detoxification related organ, the appearance of liver spots is also a sign of oversaturation of the liver. When detoxifying the liver, the soul should also be emptied of poisoning thoughts.
We usually deal with the treatment of pigment spots after summer has passed, however there are active ingredients that provide the greatest benefits to the skin during periods of strong UV radiation. Lingonberry stem cell, for example, is among the strongest antioxidants and anti-aging active ingredients, but its primary and strongest property is that it effectively regenerates sun-damaged skin, simulating the plant's natural defense mechanisms. It corrects the functioning of defective cells, continuously protecting and improving cells from the harmful effects of UV radiation. Ferulic acid, for instance, is a plant-derived phenol with sunscreen properties, which is one of the strongest natural anti-aging and antioxidant agents. The ultraviolet radiation affecting the skin enhances the sunscreen and antioxidant effects of ferulic acid and increases the sunscreen effectiveness and stability of Vitamin C. Serums containing these ingredients provide continuous outstanding protection and regeneration for the skin in all seasons, and with their use significant results can be achieved in maintaining an even, pigment-spot-free, beautiful, and youthful complexion.
Today, products with natural ingredients are also able to effectively reverse the visible signs of sun-damaged skin without mechanical treatment or acid exfoliation. In anti-pigment spot creams consisting of natural components, the skin-brightening botanical active ingredients in synergy with each other exert their effects in a short period of time, even in a few weeks, by strengthening each other.
The Pigment Spot Lightening Cream, which contains only natural ingredients, can reverse visible signs of pigment spots on skin in 3-12 weeks without laser treatment or acid exfoliation. It is effective not only in treatment of sun-damaged skin, but also results in a significant improvement in fading of dark patches caused by freckles, age spots, as well as hormonal changes within a short period of time.
How Pigment Spot Lightening Cream works
The vegan and synergistic components of the product strengthen each other to lighten effectively and gently the pigment and age spots, preventing the production of melanin while not damaging melanocytes (unlike Kojic acid often used for skin brightening). The innovative natural components, such as white lily oil, malt extract and marine polymers, are rich in phytosterols, antioxidants and polyphenol derivatives that limit the appearance of dark spots on the skin and protect the skin from pigmentation disorders and the negative effects of free radicals.
THE SERUM Vitamin C Serum With Lingonberry Stem Cell promotes and accelerates the effect of Pigment Spot Lightening Cream. The skin surface will be homogenous, skin blemishes will fade, and wrinkles will be nicely smoothed out. The result is a tight, even complexion.
Thanks to the lingonberry stem cell, its high antioxidant and Vitamin C content, the serum is an effective anti-wrinkle and anti-aging product, which neutralizes the free radicals. With its active agents it stimulates the collagen production of the skin. Within a short period of time it can effectively regenerate the sun-damaged skin and regulate skin pigmentation, it lightens dark patches and scars left over from acne, brightens age spots and liver spots.
