The More You Wait

UV rays are harmful to our body. This has pretty much become general knowledge by this point, but it still warrants a warning. Going to the beach or just sitting under the sun can have harmful implications on our skin.

When we expose ourselves to UV rays, we risk the increased formation of Melanin in our bodies. Melanin is the brown pigment in our bodies that is responsible for fighting off the damage that UV rays can cause us but the protection it offers to our well-being comes at a cost that can be quite detrimental in its own rights if left unchecked.

As the intensity of the Melanin increases, the darker it gets leaving parts of our body patchy and uneven. The most noticeable effect of this is that the patches of skin that has been overly exposed to the sun will be darker in contrast to the rest of our skin colour. This can happen to anyone of any colour or any race. The spots that form are known as age spots and though they don’t pose much of a medical detriment to our health, their cosmetic nature can severely impact our confidence in how we look which in turn negatively impacts our own self-esteem.

Hyperpigmentation can come in a variety of ways however. Not just by exposure to sunlight but also by hormonal changes in our body. Woman going through pregnancy can find themselves suffering from Melasma as well as teenagers that are going through puberty. No one wants to have dark patches on their skin which looks completely unnatural so the likelihood of purchasing skin lightening products from big pharmaceutical companies increase. But there are more natural ways to go about it as evidenced by the methods provided by this website here at
