Hyperpigmentation Causes
During the ageing process people often mention common signs such as wrinkles around the eyes, and less vibrance in the skin. Most of these comments are talking about the surface-level appearance of the skin. Although, it is important to also consider what is happening underneath and structurally to the skin. Often the sagginess associated with older skin is happening at a much deeper level than what happens on the surface.
Areas commonly affected:
- Nose
- Cheeks
- Forehead
- Neck
- Chest
Tanning Truths
- The most common types of UV ray referred to is UVA and UVB. A good way to remember the impact each has on the skin is to think UV-A (A is for ageing of the skin) and UV-B (B is for burning of the skin).
- When a person’s skin is exposed to UVA rays, the body jumps into action to protect the skin. It does this by stimulating melanin and activating pigment in the higher levels of the skin cell. This leads to tan being produced very quickly but then disappearing rapidly once the skin is no longer exposed.
- Sounds good, right? Wrong. The skin is doing this to protect itself. It’s in panic mode to stop its structure from being damaged and altered.
- UVB stimulates the skin in a different way. Because of the wave frequency, it causes the production of brand new melanin. This slower action leads to more pigment being produced over several days.
- This sounds healthier than UVA, right? Wrong again. No amount of tan can be classed as ‘healthy’.
