Some common causes for changes in skin color are injury, illness, and inflammatory problems when the skin is continually scrubbed over and over and over-peeled and over-micro der abraded, the skin can be so inflamed–even if it’s not visible to the naked eye–and which results in pigmentation.

There Are Many Other Factors That Trigger Skin Pigmentation –

Hormonal Imbalances

Internal Hormonal changes in the body affect the skin’s pigment which often occurs as a result of aging, pregnancy, birth control, certain medications, or hormone replacement therapy.

Injury

Pigmentation will be triggered by our skin’s own self-healing mechanism, once associate inflammatory response happens once associated with injury. This can embrace skin problems, waxing, improperly performed optical device treatments or deep extractions, abrasions, insect bites, and razor bumps.

There are many natural and home remedies that can be used for preventing pigmentation on the face like Lemon, Olive Oil, Onion, Castor Oil, etc. Also, protective measures like effective Sunscreen Lotions against sunburn, cleansers, hydroquinone lotions, and brightening creams can be used prescribed by doctors.
