What is pigmentation and why do we get it?
Our skin colour is determined by our level of melanin. When these cells become damaged through medication, hormonal changes, over sun exposed or unhealthy, it affects the melanin production. Pigmentation in the form of freckles is also determined by our genetics. Pigmentation also comes in many forms from small to sized larger freckles, liver spots, brown spots, age spots and or melasma.
