Pigmentation

Hyperpigmentation on the skin is formed by areas of increased melanin production that is responsible for skin pigment and tanning, and melanin that has accumulated within the top layer of the skin. Melanin is created by melanin synthesis – a complex process partly controlled by the enzyme called tyrosinase.

Facial hyper-pigmentation such as melasma, lentigines and brown spots (solar lentigines) are cosmetically undesirable yet very common in Australia.
Pigmentation often occurs due to prolonged and repeated sun exposure or burns that often grow with time.  However, brown or ashen patches of skin can also occur from birth control pills, anti-epilepsy drugs, pregnancy or hormone-replacement therapy. Other health-related problems could be possible causes. It is recommended that all health-related conditions should be directed to a physician, especially if the client is undergoing sudden or unexpected changes in skin colour.

Caring for Pigmentation
The first step in minimizing a skin pigmentation condition is to protect yourself from the sun.
Topical treatments that focus on a combination of inhibiting tyrosinase, exfoliation and bleaching offer the best solution. However, how effective these are depends on several factors, including potency, the chemical structure of the formula and how effective they can be effectively addressed.

The Rejuvi Skin Pigmentation formulations contain effective concentrations of tyrosinase inhibitors, liquorice extract, wheat-germ extract and powerful concentrations of anti oxidants to achieve the most effective anti-pigmentation results.
