Hyperpigmentation is the production of excess melanin causing dark spots on the skin. It appears where an excess of melanin has been produced and formed deposits, causing skin patches that appear darker than the surrounding skin. Common skin areas that experience hyperpigmentation or dyschromia are the face, arms, and hands.
An important measure in protecting yourself from hyperpigmentation is to protect your skin from the sun. Do this by regularly applying a broad sprectrum sunscreen that shields the skin from UVA and UVB rays. Slather it on thirty minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours because it can wear thin when exposed to water or perspiration. In addition to that, wear protective clothing, sunglasses or hats.
Experts also advise to avoid sun exposure from 10 AM to 3PM because this is the time when the rays are more intense.
