Pigmentation

Pigmentation in your 40s can appear as dark spots, uneven patches, post-acne marks or areas of discolouration that make the complexion look less even and radiant. It may be influenced by sun exposure, hormonal changes, inflammation, previous breakouts, genetics and environmental factors, and can become more noticeable over time.

A consistent, targeted skincare routine can help support a brighter, more even-looking complexion. Ingredients such as vitamin C, antioxidants, retinoids, gentle exfoliants and other pigment-targeting actives can help support skin renewal and improve the appearance of uneven tone. Daily broad-spectrum SPF is especially important, as UV exposure can deepen existing pigmentation and contribute to new areas of discolouration.

Professional treatments can further support pigmentation by helping to encourage skin renewal, improve clarity and target areas of uneven tone. Treatments designed to brighten, exfoliate and refine the skin can help reduce the appearance of pigmentation while promoting a smoother, clearer and more luminous-looking complexion over time.

Lifestyle and environmental factors can also influence pigmentation.

Sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations, inflammation, stress, skin picking and certain medications can all affect how pigmentation develops and fades, which is why a personalised and consistent approach is often the most effective.
