Korean Skincare for Pigmentation

Skin pigmentation is a disorder that causes the skin to appear either lighter (hypo pigmentation) or darker (hyper pigmentation) than the existing skin color. Sometimes, pigmentation may even appear as blotchy and discolored.

Humans have a skin component called ‘Melanin’ that regulates the color of skin, hair and eye. The reasons behind skin pigmentation is the minimal or excessive production of melanin.

The white skin 70% more prone to sun induced skin cancer than black or dark skin. The reason being the high Melanin content in black skin. Melanin works as an absorbent filter of UV-Rays that prevents the sunlight to penetrate further in the skin. Especially the Eumelanin has the shielding effect to scatter the UV-Rays and act as a physical barrier in epidermis layer of skin.
