What Causes Dark Spots and How to Treat It Naturally

By Gelainza Kong, Chief Inspiration Officer at Pinkalulu

 

Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered where that spot came from? 

You’re not alone. Millions of women (and men!) deal with pigmentation concerns—whether it’s sunspots, melasma, acne scars, or uneven skin tone. But before we talk about solutions, let’s understand what’s really going on with your skin. 

 

What Causes Hyperpigmentation? 

Hyperpigmentation occurs when your skin produces too much melanin—the pigment that gives your skin its color. Triggers include:

• UV exposure: The #1 cause. Even a few minutes of sun without SPF can set it off.
• Hormonal changes: Especially during pregnancy or from contraceptive use (hello, melasma).
• Post-inflammatory response: That lingering mark from a breakout or rash.
• Ageing: As we age, our skin becomes more prone to pigment irregularities.

 

Why Go Natural? 

Harsh chemical peels or aggressive treatments may promise fast results—but they can disrupt your skin barrier and worsen sensitivity. That’s why more people are turning to gentler, naturally active ingredients for long-term skin health.
