Hyperpigmentation - Clogged Pores

Hyperpigmentation, re-Clogged Pores, is the darkening of an area of skin or nails caused by increased melanin. Age or "liver" spots are a common form of hyperpigmentation. It can also be said that, an uneven skin tone, or hyperpigmentation, is the result of an over production of melanin. They occur due to sun damage, and are referred to by doctors as solar lentigines. Melanin is what gives skin and hair its color, helps protect skin against damaging UV light and absorbs heat from the sun.

Freckles, age spots, and other darkened skin patches can become darker or more pronounced when skin is exposed to the sun. This happens because melanin absorbs the energy of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays in order to protect he skin from overexposure.  

Many forms of hyperpigmentation are caused by an excess production of melanin. Melasma, also called 'chloasma', is a common skin condition of adults in which light to dark brown or greyish pigmentation develops, mainly on the face. However, an overproduction of melanin stimulated by excessive sun exposure, hormones, or scarring, leads to a mottled, uneven skin tone.
