Stressing on a regular basis, can cause pigmentation issues on the skin.

I have been flooded with numerous queries lately on ”skin whitening” 

 Remember STOP stressing 
Don’t Blame it all on the Sun.

The sun is responsible for most skin hyper-pigmentation, hence the nickname “sun damage.” But don’t blame it all on the sun. Stress, hormones, diet and inflammation from any trauma can all cause skin hyperpigmentation. Melasma, for example, is almost always caused by something other than the sun.

Well what about stress? Well, there are two stress hormones: epinephrine and norepinephrine, that are both dependent on Tyrosine. When you become stressed, cortisol rises and Tyrosinase is used to produce more of these stress hormones. Because your body cannot distinguish between the stress of a life threatening emergency and the stress over a final exam, it responds in the same way regardless of the circumstance. Stressing on a regular basis, therefore, depletes your body and could lead to issues with skin hyperpigmentation (among many other unpleasant skin issues.)

How to prevent pigmentation issues on the skin!  

Always wear a sunscreen, especially during pregnancy or when you take oral contraceptives.

 Try to stay in the shade during intense sunlight, especially between 10 am and 2 pm.

 Gently cleanse skin, and use warm water to open your pores.

 Gently exfoliate and then moisturize your skin every day.

 Remember that some drugs like birth control pills and sleeping pills can cause pigmentation; the effects of these drugs should stop when you quit taking them.
